Pavement

In a raw and energetic performance on August 21, 1991, at The Middle East in Cambridge, Pavement showcased their unique sound before a burgeoning fanbase. The live recording came shortly after their debut album, 'Slanted and Enchanted,' released in April 1992, which would eventually cement their status in indie rock history. Interestingly, this early show captures Pavement at a pivotal moment, where their lo-fi aesthetics and distinctive melodies were just beginning to resonate within the underground scene. With openers like Sexual Milkshake, the atmosphere was ripe with excitement, and the energy was palpable as Pavement began to carve out their niche, paving the way for a legacy that still influences artists today.
