  In January 2012, during the Sydney Festival, PJ Harvey performed a live set that showcased her status as a critically acclaimed artist and her evolution in sound. This performance occurred shortly after the release of her album "Let England Shake," which came out in February 2011 and received significant acclaim, winning the Mercury Prize that same year. This period marked a creative high for Harvey, known for her innovative blend of alternative rock and a more experimental approach, particularly in the thematic exploration of war and British identity in "Let England Shake." The live recording reflects her ability to captivate audiences with powerful lyrical content and a dynamic stage presence. Notably, Harvey was the first woman to win the Mercury Prize, highlighting her influential role in the music industry. This performance was part of a broader tour in support of her album, reinforcing her reputation as one of the most original voices in contemporary music.
