“Feel” borders on arena rock territory at first, but the sleeveless denim jacket riffs cut it off at the front door (which is a good thing). The guitars seem to come at you from all sides while Segall’s vocals are somehow gentle in the din. “I Bought My Eyes” is one of Segall’s biggest hits, and he lets it rip on this live album. “Death” mixes stoner rock with punk so fast it might give your ears friction burns. “Slaughterhouse” (from the album of the same name) is pure freak-out punk rock with a little Nirvana vocals sprinkled on top for good measure. It sounds like something Tom Petty wishes he could release on his new record, but fears it would alienate his long-time fans.
The psych-fuzz whiz kid opens his live set with, oddly enough, “Wave Goodbye.” It starts out with low bass and then kicks into squealing high gear that has the small crowd cheering in joy. He seems to put out a new record every month, so it feels like he should have three live albums by now. Ty Segall is so prolific that I’m surprised it took him until 2015 to release a live album.
