This album marked a notable moment in their career, re-establishing their signature sound while blending fresh ideas. Fans were buzzing with excitement as they shared the stage at venues like the Shoreline Amphitheatre on August 7, 2018, where they performed “Monkey Gone to Heaven.” This song, from their iconic album “Doolittle” (1989), is celebrated for its surreal lyrics and themes of environmentalism, making it a fan-favorite and a hallmark of their live shows.
