Released in 1991, Perfect Sound Forever marked the third EP from the indie outfit. The performance of one of its lead songs, โAngel Carver Blues/Mellow Jazz Docentโ, went down on October 8 at The Eastern in Atlanta, Georgia, coming as part of Pavementโs current North America headline tour.
Watch the fan-shot performance below:
The indie legends kicked off their reunion tour back in May (following its initial announcement in 2019) at Los Angelesโ The Fonda Theatre, marking Pavementโs first gig in nearly 12 years.
The band followed that up with a headline slot at Primavera Sound Barcelona and Porto back in June.
August saw a 30th anniversary reissue of Slanted & Enchanted, itself a follow-up to the special reissue of Pavementโs final album, Terror Twilight, at the start of 2022.
After wrapping up their current North American headline run, Pavement will play a host of UK shows later this month, which includes a four-date residency at the Roundhouse in London.
Speaking to the BBC on October 9, frontman Stephen Malkmus said the tour has been โsort of like a tiger let out of the cageโ.
โI listened to every song, just about, that we ever did,โ he said of how he prepared for the run, โstarting from the very beginning to make sure I had enough material to surprise people and make it magical and every show different.โ
