Guided by Voices

On May 17, 2014, Guided by Voices delivered an unforgettable performance at Mr. Smalls Theatre in Millvale, Pennsylvania. This live recording features the lively track "Authoritarian Zoo," which first appeared on their album "Cool Planet," released just days earlier on May 10, 2014. This period marked a prolific resurgence for the band, led by the ever-creative Robert Pollard, who seemed to channel his imaginative prowess into this album, showcasing his knack for blending lo-fi sensibilities with catchy melodies. Fun fact: This concert took place during their robust tour immediately following the album’s release, driving excitement among fans who were eager to hear fresh tunes live! It’s a fascinating moment in the band's history, as they celebrated their continued evolution while rooting deeply in their iconic sound.
