liz phair’s exile in guyville live
been listening to exile in guyville quite a bit as of late, after probably 2-3 years without listening to it much, if at all. no doubt that it’s a brilliant record, and remains in my top 5 of all time, but are people still buying it or listening to it? is it one of those records that is going to be bought and consumed years from now, like its counterpart exile on mainstreet, the white album, blonde on blonde, london calling and other records deemed “classics?” me thinks it would be a damn shame if it were purely a generational, see mine, appreciated record.
anyway, here she is at the fillmore in san francisco on 6.23.08. this was part of her exile in guyville performances tour.
all my love to persistent for the recording…

I remember seeing her at Manchester University around 1994 – the support band……… Oasis. The band watched her in the audience and kept shouting ‘ Liz Phair, show us your pair’
oasis was the opener? wow, crazy! that seems like a lineup that was destined to either a. be a horrible disaster or b. put on a brilliant show. sadly, i have seen liz many of times, and i would only say her best show was, pretty good. oasis, i have never seen em.
