Review
This time it's personal...
After 20+ years of giving the people what they want, Mercury Rev have become a well-oiled, cathartic live machine.
I must say I've never been subject to a more shameless display of pandering to the critic. Starting the show with a flash guided tour of everything great in the last forty years (a slide show featuring, the Talking Heads, Bowie, Lester Bangs, Pavement, John Coltrane, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Thomas Merton...yes, these too are my favorite things) with the accompanying glorious tones of the Cocteau Twins' "Ivo", Mercury Rev spelled out to me, personally, 'you are going to amuse yourself tonight and write an unabashedly positive review'.
