Guided by Voices

On September 2, 2023, Guided by Voices celebrated their 40th anniversary with a live performance at the Dayton Masonic Center's Schiewetz Auditorium, right in their hometown. At this point in their career, the band had just released their latest album, 'La La Land,' earlier that year in January 2023, showcasing their continued evolution and prolific creativity. This live recording is not merely a nostalgia trip; it highlights the band's ability to blend their classic lo-fi sound with fresh energy, captivating both devoted fans and newcomers alike. Interestingly, this performance is titled 'Yours to Keep / Echos Myron,' showcasing tracks that reflect their distinctive melodies and witty lyrics. The playful description of the recording hints at the lively atmosphere, where the audience's enthusiasm and perhaps a little mischief added to the experience, proving that GBV's charm remains undiminished even after four decades.
