This is one of the last concerts from Garbage’s “Bleed Like Me Tour”, which was also their last before a seven year hiatus. For better or worse, you can tell. It’s a good show and sad to not have them for a long time after, but a rest was needed in retrospect.
Garbage has always had an interactive live persona, and it’s on full display here. The first half is tight, then it loosens up. There is an improptu haircut for a long-time fan. I’m sure part of the spectacle is lost without the visuals, fortunately this downtime allows for a cool cover of the Velvet Underground’s “I’m Waiting For The Man” from one of the guys in the band singing while Manson is playing barber! As the concert goes on, the band tries and aborts a few songs off the cuff before calling the night.
Not a smooth concert made for a live album and consumption from the masses, but a great Garbage set! Rock incarnate. In the moment and fun! Enjoy!
