Big Star - complete columbia: live at university of missouri 4/25/93 (vinyl)

Big Star. One of the greatest bands ever that were ignored when they first came out and then treated as royalty (deserved) years later after they were long gone.  I am sure I am going to write up about Big Star in the future on this blog so I will save something for those times. However, this is a historic recording since two members of the original band were paired up with two members of a band called The Posies (also faves of mine), who had recorded two Big Star songs on their own for a single.

When this took place I think everyone believed that this was going to be a one-off event. However, this band were eventually convinced to tour and I was lucky enough to catch them once at the Fillmore in San Francisco and then at the House of Blues in Los Angeles in the 94/95 time frame.

For fans of melodic guitar pop this is a must have. Note, a lot of this has been originally released but I believe that this is the first time that the entire performance has been available on vinyl. Released as part of Record Store Day 2016.
