Guided by Voices

On August 8, 2018, Guided by Voices delivered a captivating performance at Saturn in Birmingham. Leading up to this live recording, the band had released their album "How Do You Spell Heaven" just earlier that same year, showcasing their distinctive blend of lo-fi rock and melodic hooks, a signature of their long-standing career. What’s particularly intriguing is that this recording fits within a robust resurgence for the band, as they had been quite active, releasing several albums in the years prior and reviving their classic lineup. Fans were buzzing with excitement seeing the familiar faces on stage and relishing the raw, energetic renditions of their beloved tracks—as epitomized by the performance of "Game of Pricks." It’s a wonderful snapshot of a band that continuously evolves while clinging to the charm that has drawn in listeners for decades.
