Guided by Voices

On August 16, 2016, Guided by Voices delivered a memorable performance at Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix, playing 'Back to the Lake' as part of a sprawling 50-song set that spanned nearly three hours. This live recording came after the release of their album 'Please Be Honest,' which dropped in April 2016, showcasing the band’s consistent productivity. One fascinating aspect of this era for Guided by Voices is their ability to balance prolific output with live energy—it's a testament to their enduring legacy in the indie rock scene. Led by the iconic Robert Pollard, the band has a unique knack for fusing raw power with melodic finesse, making each performance a remarkable experience. During this period, they were also reestablishing themselves with both long-time fans and newer audiences, proving that their appeal stretches across generations.
