Pavement

On April 23, 1997, Pavement rocked the Ogden Theatre in Denver with a live performance of "Embassy Row." This concert came on the heels of their acclaimed album "Brighten the Corners," which had been released just a few months prior in February 1997. By this time, Pavement was gaining substantial recognition for their distinctive blend of lo-fi and alternative rock, solidifying their status as icons of the '90s indie scene. What's fascinating is that "Brighten the Corners" represented a pivotal moment in their career—showing a more polished production than earlier works, yet retaining their signature charm and wit. The live recording captures the band's spirited energy and the vibrant atmosphere of the venue perfectly, an eternal reminder of their innovative sound during a transformative era in music.
