In March 2020, Phoebe Bridgers was at a pivotal moment in her career as she prepared to release her second studio album, *Punisher*. The live recording of "ICU" at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum occurred just ahead of the album's release, showcasing her burgeoning recognition as a significant voice in indie rock. This performance was part of the 50on50 series, where an intimate audience of fifty fans was able to witness her new songs live for the first time. *Punisher*, released later that year, garnered critical acclaim and significantly elevated her profile, marking a transformative year for Bridgers. Additionally, the unique setting of the Coliseum and the intimate nature of the performance exemplified her ability to connect with audiences in creative ways, setting the stage for her subsequent success and broader recognition within the music industry.
