Pavement

In 1994, Pavement was riding high on the momentum of their seminal album, 'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain,' which had been released the previous year. This live recording from Élysée Montmartre captures the band during a vibrant period of their career, showcasing their trademark slacker rock sound that was defining the alternative scene of the '90s. Interestingly, this album featured the hit 'Cut Your Hair,' a song that not only charted well but also reflected the band's introspective yet humorous take on fame and the music industry. The performance, broadcasted on Metal Express, highlights Pavement's engaging stage presence and their unmistakable chemistry, which was integral to their live shows. It’s a brilliant time capsule of a band at the peak of their creative powers, basking in the exhilaration of critical acclaim while still retaining that DIY spirit.
