The Strokes Perform “Fear of Sleep” Live for the First Time: Watch
The post The Strokes Perform “Fear of Sleep” Live for the First Time: Watch appeared first on Consequence.
The Strokes unveiled the live debut of “Fear of Sleep” from 2006’s First Impressions of Earth during their recent headlining performance at Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival.
The band delivered a hits-filled set at the Naeba Ski Resort in Japan’s Niigata Prefecture that leaned heavily on their first two albums, but they dug deep into the catalogue to dust off “Fear of Sleep,” which according to Far Out Magazine, stood as the only song from their third LP that had not yet been performed live.
According to NME, lead singer Julian Casablancas prefaced the debut by telling the audience, “Here’s a song that we probably last played in Japan 29 years ago. Kidding… not that long ago. Sounds right? Let’s see how it goes.” Watch the performance and check out the full setlist below.
The Strokes still have a handful of live dates in 2023 including stops to New York’s Forest Hills Stadium and Morrison, Colorado’s Red Rocks in August as well as festival appearances at London’s All Points East and Spain’s Cala Mijas. Find tickets to their entire upcoming shows here.
