The Walkmen

In February 2008, when The Walkmen performed "Another One Goes By" at The Independent in San Francisco, they were cruising through a vibrant chapter in their career. Just prior to this live recording, they had released their album *Pussy Cats* in 2006, a delightful collaboration with the legendary producer John Brion. It showcased a shift towards a more experimental sound, blending their signature indie rock vibes with a fresh sense of adventure. By the time of the 2008 performance, they were riding high on the buzz from *You & Me*, which came out later that year. This album marked a notable return to their roots, earning critical acclaim for its introspective lyricism and intricate compositions. Interestingly, the band’s charm lies not just in their music but in their undeniable chemistry, which is palpable in their live shows. This performance encapsulates that energy, drawing in fans and newcomers alike—who could resist the blend of nostalgia and raw emotion?
