PJ Harvey

In July 2001, PJ Harvey was touring in support of her critically acclaimed album 'Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea,' which had been released just months earlier, in October 2000. This album marked a significant turning point in her career, blending gritty rock with more polished production, showcasing her evolution as an artist. The live performance at the Gurtenfestival in Bern highlights her raw energy and emotional depth, all while she captivates her audience with tracks like 'Down By The Water' and 'Big Exit.' It's fascinating to note that 'Stories from the City...' won the Mercury Prize, underscoring her status in the music world at that time. This particular show reveals not just the powerful connection between her music and her fans, but also a pivotal moment in Harvey's artistic journey.
