Vinyl - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Live in Chicago '23: June 13, Night 3 - Hand numbered edition

*Mockups may not reflect final product

Night three of King Gizzard's 2023 Chicago residency immortalized across 3 discs of "Hot Puddle" blue and white A/B vinyl, plus a special 7”! Fully custom whimsical vintage psychedelic illustration featuring King Gila himself and liner note presentation with Morton Salt theming makes this release truly one-of-a-kind.

It was not at all clear that the show would happen on night three as the rain poured just after gates opened. Fans huddled inside the venue, anticipation built for the oncoming storm of a show – and what a show it was. King Gila reigned supreme in the metal opening run, followed by a tongue-in-cheek Plastic Boogie to a poncho-clad crowd. The boys tore into a rousing Hot Water that melted seamlessly into Hypertension. The pace stayed lively through This Thing and Magenta Mountain, leading up to the live debut of Change. The mood changed for The Garden Goblin, complete with the full Bunnings backstory, before tearing into a Dripping Tap that perfectly closed out a very wet run, indeed.

25% of the profits from this release will go to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Visit their website (https://www.chicagosfoodbank.org/) to learn more about the great food security work they do.
