Fitz and The Tantrums: Live In Chicago also poignantly highlights the deeply felt absence of live music – as social bond and and as a livelihood – during the COVID pandemic. The plight faced by venues like Metro, tasked with mounting local-level campaigns via GoFundMe alongside vigorous lobbying efforts such as the National Independent Venue Association’s Save Our Stages initiative, aimed at securing federal relief funding for the live entertainment industry.
