Guided By Voices - Space Gun - Live at the Bell House

Space Gun is the lead single from Guided By Voices' 2018 album, also titled Space Gun. On the album, the song is a dense, layered affair, crackling with ambient white noise and shrouding lead singer Robert Pollard's vocals in a reverbed haze.

In this live version, Pollard's vocals are front and centre, projecting intensity and power. The live drums pack an exquisitely potent punch, and the crunchy dissonant guitars mirror the album version's spacey ambiance.


Recorded at The Bell House in Brookyln, NY, on December 15th, 2017.

One of the best live Performances I have Seen in my life. Thank you so much GBV. What a great band.

[HowardHello]

This is one of the best sounding live GBV tracks I've ever heard.

[lot]

Going to see them at the Rock and Roll HOF August 19th. It's been over 25 years since I've seen them. I just got over cancer, I'd thought I'd never see them again.

This is one of the best songs bob ever made.

Pete Townshend hasn’t written a song this great in more than 40 years

[HeatherMHug]

Get ready for excitement and adventure!

[DanielReedyoutubepage]

Just saw them here in Baltimore. Damn this song was so electric live.

[zimmats]

It’s remarkable how well-preserved Bob is given his lifestyle. Also he sounds like a indie rock Ozzy Osbourne here.

[PostComicCentury]

This performance is a masterpiece :) I want everyone to know but this one I kind of want to keep to myself...

[KawaiiChele]

I already love this tune. I saw them on the Space Gun tour at Industry City in Brooklyn, only a few minutes bicycle ride from The Bell House- and this version still managed to inspire all these years later. Feels like yesterday, but it was 2017 right?

[galleryofrogues]

Nice! Great quality. These guys breathe and great albums materialize, a bit jealous.

[PintsofGuinness]

[celsoch]

DUDE, this new drummer is so damn good! WTF

[absolutelynonameslef]

Doug looks like he has a blast playing this one. I know I do, just listening to it.

[jojohuhu]

Can't geht enough, where is the rest of that Concert?
