kiilerqueen Reviewed: August 19, 2011 concert by King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
Another partial show recording without Joey. This time as an opening act at the Esplanade Hotel. This show was right in the middle of the Teenage Gizzard era ending and the Willoughby's era starting, as this contains the last time any song before the release of Willoughby's Beach was played.



Starting off with Crookedile, this is a fun and energetic performance of the track two months before the studio release. Due to Joey's absence, Stu and Lucas take a much more prominent role here, with the call-and-response vocals especially being a highlight. We then cut midway through Eddie Cousin, the final known performance of the track. We see Stu jumping and moving around with his guitar, however the song seems to end just as soon as it begins. This is followed by the riff of Black Tooth, with it then cutting to the first verse of the song. The band run through a solid version of their latest single, with Cookie especially playing some cool guitar parts. Stu ends with a final "ay-oh-ah" before the recording cuts out. Another fun recording from this period, though not especially notable aside from the first/last known recordings,
