Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks: 133 - 2014

133
20140110, Live at WFUV
Houston Hades
Lariat
Scattegories
Shibboleth



A slightly longer session at WFUV – the sound is more boxed in, but it sounds just fine when you turn it up. And why wouldn't you? The Jicks are doing fine. Once again, the rewards for fans who look for special occurences are few. 'Houston Hades' has a slightly longer noise intro section. 'Lariat' has a weird choreographed solo section tacked on to its end. 'Scattegories' is a little more stripped back. They just play 'em well.

The highlight of the day is the last song, the first live version (I'm aware of) of 'Shibboleth'. Chock full of keyboard weirdry, it can stand next to the album take proudly. Not greatly different, but with added live performance urgency. It rocks.
