Lambchop - Box Set

Customer reviews
Press release

Lambchop have been making special tour-only CDs available at their live shows since the late nineties. This box, strictly limited to 1. pieces, collects all eight of those CDs, that were previously only available at the merch table. To make it all the more special, the box also includes two fully fleshed out concert DVDs of defining moments from the Lambchop career. One covers a show in Brussels on the Damaged tour from 26 and features the excellent Polish Dafo String Quartett. The other one is just plain amazing. Lambchop performed at their US label's 2th anniversary weekend in North Carolina last year. There is some footage from this show floating around the internet. Let's just say that Merge's most underrated band completely stole the show. And what a hair raising, goosebumping ride through the Chop catalogue it was. Culminating in an incredible rendition of the UK charts hit "Give Hit" that Wagner sang for the electronic music producers X-Press 2 in 27, mixed into a medley with the Talking Head classic Once In A Lifetime. Honestly, this song alone justifies the price of this lush boxed set.
