5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, September 29, 1999

Before Low, before Mogwai and before Luna, these guys were perfecting the perfect slow core pop, I was lucky enough to catch them play live and since they wont be doing that anymore this is a perfect document as to how great Galaxie 500 sound outside of the studio.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Muppets Take Copenhagen, June 12, 2000

By A Customer

OK - it's not as if Galaxie 500's live show ever was much to brand with superlatives. Check out Damon & Naomi's modern-day wankfests for evidence (and bring me back some Romilar as a souvenir ... zzzz ... ). Aside from serving some sentimental purpose for the G500 folks now moping through middle age, ain't much this CD, documenting the band's final European performance, has to offer. Like most live recordings, the bass is mixed too high, the guitars too low in some sort of a jagged murk, the vocals from some cave north of Omsk. And those voices - yeesh, and this is when Wareham's forlorn whininess actually sounded most at home. On "When Will You Come Home," though, it sounds as if he's been hanging out in the kitchen with the Swedish Chef and a puppeteer has a hand up his rear. The covers (Yoko Ono, George Harrison) are interesting in and of themselves, but God bless y'all if you see the need to listen to them more than once.
