  In January 1998, Grandaddy was riding high on the success of their debut album, "Under the Western Freeway," which had been released in 1997. This live recording of "Levitz" on the Dutch music show "2 Meter Sessies" captures the band at a formative stage, showcasing their blend of indie rock and lo-fi aesthetics that would come to define their sound. The song itself reflects the band's themes of isolation and modern life's absurdities, enhanced by their unique instrumental arrangements. This period was pivotal for Grandaddy as they began to gain recognition in the indie music scene, particularly in Europe. Interestingly, their sound would later influence a generation of indie bands, and the band's frontman, Jason Lytle, would eventually pursue a successful solo career, further solidifying Grandaddy's impact on the genre.
