Product Details

Robert Pollard spent decades turning Dayton, Ohio bar stages into something approaching religious experience, fueling GBV's live sets with the same beer-soaked, fist-pumping energy that made the band's Matador-era records required listening for a generation of indie obsessives. The Austin City Limits TV program has a long history of capturing bands at career-defining moments, and catching Pollard and company during their farewell run preserves exactly the kind of loose, euphoric chaos that no studio recording ever quite contained.

Double 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. Twenty-plus years... two dozen albums... twice that many bandmates... The mad genius that is Robert Pollard finally decided it was time to bring down the curtain on one of indie rock's most innovative and, well, outrageous live bands. Certainly nobody could accuse Guided by Voices of being too tame, too mainstream, too predictable. Ever since Pollard created the "gang" in Ohio in the early 1980's with the help of his brother Jimmy and Pete Jamison (with the help of a loan to pay for the first few records), "lo-fi" may be the best descriptor for their brand of bursting, raw, no-holds-barred shout-out songs.
