Guided By Voices: Hardcore UFOs: Live At The Wheelchair Races (2003)

Live At the Wheelchair Races is a stellar live album. It has a great mix of tracks, from the classics (A Salty Salute, Weed King, Game Of Pricks, Tractor Rape Chain), live staples (My Impression Now, Drinker's Peace, Johnny Appleseed, Over The Neptune), Robert Pollard solo album tracks (Quicksilver, Make Use, Town Of Mirrors, Far Out Crops), and some rare live tracks (Key Losers, How Loft Am I?, Look At Them, Shrine To The Dynamic Years, James Riot). I did not plan on actually putting any live tracks on the playlist, however, one particular cut is just too cool to ignore...


The live version of I Am Produced simply rocks, and I cannot leave it off the playlist. I absolutely love it when this one gets going, with its dueling vocals (the three main lines: "I Am Produced", "Produce Me!" & "Pressed, printed, stomped, tripped ,trapped, tricked, packaged, shipped")

I am not going to go into detail with all the other tracks, since there is tons of live material out there from GBV, and this is simply a collection of great performances to add to it.
