MGMT | Live At Le Bataclan 10/8/2010

Welcome back. I have been incessantly busy the past few weeks with the minutia known as a college education, but in that period I found time to travel to the future and listen to the forthcoming Cut Copy album Zonoscope (more on this LP later). Needless to say, I now understand why a Delorean was chosen for time travel rather than the fixed-gear I've been using.

Since rejoining society I got word that MGMT released a live EP of a show in France from 2010. Upon questing for said EP I ended up finding a lovely bootleg from the first night of their 2010 shows at Le Bataclan in Paris, France that contains the full set from the evening rather than the five song offering on the EP. The quality is surprisingly crisp for a bootleg, and the setlist is made up of a good balance of cuts from Congratulations and Oracular Spectacular. While many bemoan MGMT and their fickle relationship with the live setting, I have found their live performances only to have improved musically every time I watch them play, and this bootleg is a testament to their ever-improving skills of instrumentation. It makes for a great listen for any MGMT fan and a nice complement to the stellar Daytrotter session released earlier in January.

Download the full set and check the setlist after the jump.
