10 Greatest Live Rock Albums Since 2010

For newcomers to Sleater-Kinney, there can be few better places to start than this 2017 live collection, which pays tribute to the legendary indie act better than any studio greatest hits ever could. A 47-minute sprint focussing primarily on the band’s more recent work, it’s the story of two singers as in synch as any pairing, and whose work can stand up to anyone’s of the era.

Clattering opener “Price Tag” is all action, with its skipping drums, competing guitar lines, and vocalists Corine Tucker and Carrie Brownstein dovetailing perfectly on the choruses. The record is fantastically produced and beautifully clear - these are detailed and technical performances, with everything coming across in the mix, even when things get murkier on the yelping, grunge “What’s Mine Is Yours”.

By closer “Modern Girl”, they’ve given the crowd everything they could ask for, winding things up with plaintive harmonica rather than the speaker-blowing drums of the studio version. It serves as a taster rather than giving you the experience of the full show, leaving listeners wanting the real thing all the more.
