King Gizzard & The Lizzard Wizard With the monolithic Live At Red Rocks ’22, we have released a concert album following which nothing more should have come in this profession, nothing more might have come… and now here comes it Live In Chicago ’23 suddenly the next mega chunk.

The subjective reaction to these 341 live minutes from the largest city in Illinois would probably be much more euphoric without the previous Red Rocks manifesto: the monolith, which was only a few months ago, finally had the feeling of capturing some of the ultimate versions of some songs, Due to its mass alone, it is such an exhausting volume that it might have been used for a long, long time.

A judgment that, if this circumstance can be taken into account at all, is actually a momentary one Gizz– Live oversaturation can be derived, but with regard to the appreciation of Live In Chicago ’23 it should be put into perspective with a little distance at the latest. After all, the Australians succeed in doing things here in a direct comparison, at best in a less iconic way, but they don’t do anything wrong: the sound is as good as always, the performance is sparkling as usual, the wit results in so, so many highlights.

For example, the biggest spectacle is an almost half-hour version of The Riverwhich is considered veritable Grateful Dead-Homage is performed close to the ideal line and puts the jam character of many overly long excursions on rainy Chicago nights on a pedestal. Or Gaiawhich is what this is regarding Motor Spirit and The Great Chain of Being It’s exciting to hear all of the metal songs made available to the general public for the first time on the band’s live album PetroDragonic Apocalypse (especially in the company of the Thrashers from Infest the Rats‘ Nest) produce special steam. The actual premiere of Changes On the other hand, it turns out to be a bit underwhelming, but that’s what it’s for Invisible Face for the first time in full or Shanghai as pop delirium. Yes, you’ll be picking up this record a lot in the future!

Guys, this is gonna be one to remember“ says Ambrose Kenny-Smith (harmonica, keys, vocals, saxophones, percussion) at some point and is of course right, once once more: Cook Craig (guitar, keys, vocals, synthesizer), Joey Walker (guitar, vocals, synthesizer), Lucas Harwood (bass, synthesizer), Michael Cavanagh (drums) and Stu Mackenzie (guitar, vocals, flute, keys) deliver on these consecutive days of June 11th, 12th and 13th The Salt Shed from Chicago once once more offers an addictive, extremely entertaining added value that actually only asks the question of how every performance by this band (or at least every performance released as a recording) can feel so individual and essential.
