Houdini Live 2005: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust is an album by the Melvins, which was released in 2006 through Ipecac Recordings. It is a live rendition of their 1993 album Houdini.
Background and recording
[edit]In 2005, the Melvins were invited to play Houdini in its entirety by All Tomorrow's Parties for their Don't Look Back series. After performing, the band thought it would make for a good live album, but they had not recorded their set. Consequently, the band then rented an empty warehouse and played the set to an invitation-only crowd.[2][3] The band played and recorded two sets, picking the best performances from each for the final album.[4]
