Live in Melbourne '21 is a live album released by Australian rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, recorded during their performance in the Summer Sound Festival at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on 26 February 2021.
Recordings
Live in Melbourne '21 contains the rare intro drum solo Fury, played only twice in the bands existence, here, and at a show at the Croxton Park Hotel 2 days prior.[1][2] The performance took place during a gap between the release of K.G. and L.W., and heavily featured songs on that album.[1] It was also the bands first recorded live performance since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the departure of Eric Moore.[3] This release was also made available on YouTube by the band with concert footage with the album uploaded to their official bootlegger program shortly after.[1][2]
Reception
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation noted the performances of "Pleura," "Straws in the Wind," "Automation," and "Honey."[3] The release of the album also came with the release of further concert dates in Sydney, Adelaide, and Fremantle.[3]
