  On June 11, 2015, Neutral Milk Hotel performed at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, California, marking what is considered their final show of their reunion tour. This live recording came nearly two decades after the release of their seminal album, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," which debuted in 1998 and became a cult classic, known for its unique blend of lo-fi aesthetics and deeply emotional lyrics. Before this live performance, the band reformed in 2013, bringing renewed attention to their work. The setlist for this final show featured several tracks from "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," showcasing its enduring impact and popularity. The reunion tour was notable for reviving interest in the band after a long hiatus, during which frontman Jeff Mangum had largely retreated from the public eye, making this performance an emotionally charged culmination of their history.
