Guided by Voices

In the summer of 1996, Guided by Voices was in a vibrant phase of their career, having just released their album "Under the Bushes, Under the Stars" earlier that year. This live performance at Edgefest, held in Dayton, Ohio, showcases their unique blend of lo-fi indie rock that was rapidly gaining a dedicated following. At this concert, the band was still reveling in the success of their earlier album "Bee Thousand," which had turned them into cult icons. It's interesting to note that their spontaneity and raw energy, often evident in live recordings, fueled their reputation for memorable performances. The Edgefest show epitomizes their dynamic presence and the passion that characterized their music during this exhilarating period, making fans feel every syllable of their songs.
