Big Star Live
Editorial Reviews
<"b00000ew6z3999"> From the Label
This live recording shows Big Star's combination of pop sensibilities with a disquieting undercurrent, still unmatched to this day. The band's in a loose and jovial mood, and seems more intent on having fun than playing a tight set. The live versions of "Daisy Glaze," "Mod Lang," and a pair of Alex Chilton's solo acoustic ballads yield a new insight into those songs. Particularly notable is a cover of Loudon Wainwright's "Motel Blues," an indication of the weariness and frustration that Chilton was already feeling as a young music industry veteran. Recorded for a WLIR broadcast in 1974 and never before commercially available, the album was mastered directly from the original two-track tapes. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
