Publicly commemorating an album’s 10th anniversary is not the most brash rock ’n’ roll move, but forgive the Hold Steady and its fans for feeling nostalgic. This week the band roared back into Brooklyn (“roar” is perhaps the only gear it possesses) for four sold-out concerts, Wednesday through Saturday, at the Brooklyn Bowl, with a particular focus on its third — and breakout — album, “Boys and Girls in America,” from 2006.

The group’s joyous classic-rock racket features prominent shades of Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick and the E Street Band — sounds that were not very fashionable as influences in 2006. Brooklyn was a nurturing home for the band, though, and its indie-rock scene has continued to shift and evolve, despite a few setbacks: “Goodnight Brooklyn,” a new documentary, celebrates the history of — and bemoans the closing of — Death by Audio, a performing arts space in Williamsburg, the neighborhood where the Hold Steady formed.

Two and a half years have passed since the band released its sixth album, “Teeth Dreams,” to mixed reviews; its leader, Craig Finn, has put out his second solo album, “Faith in the Future,” in the time since. It’s unclear whether this week of high energy in the borough where the band spent its formative years is a tentative moment of rebirth or a celebratory wake.

Just before soundcheck on Wednesday night, Mr. Finn and the keyboardist Franz Nicolay sat on black leather couches in a room above the Brooklyn Bowl’s stage. Mr. Nicolay is back — for now — after leaving the lineup in 2010 to pursue an eclectic range of other musical and literary endeavors.
