Recorded in the wake of the release of Radio City, Big Star Live s a freewheeling radio date originally broadcast in 1974. Spotlighting the strongest material from the group's first two LPs, the mood is both lighthearted and world-weary, the attitude of bandmembers fully cognizant of the fact that the music they're creating is exceptional, yet dumbfounded by their almost complete lack of commercial success. A cover of Loudon Wainwright's &Motel Blues& is wholly indicative of Alex Chilton's mindset at this point in the game; already a battle-scarred veteran of the music industry, his frustration is palpable, lending even greater urgency to remarkable songs like &September Gurls,& &The Ballad of El Goodo,& &O My Soul,& and &Thirteen.& While certainly not the best starting point for new fans, Big Star Live is essential stuff for the converted.
