Recordings

King Gizzard's performance at the 2014 Levitation festival marked the first time the band performed a live show in the United States. [1] [2] [3] At the time the band was still a total unknown in the United States, with only an estimated 125 fans in attendance, mostly there for other acts. [4] Regardless, the show would create a burgeoning fan-base. [4] The band was promoting their new, then unreleased, album I'm in Your Mind Fuzz . [2] [5] Among the performance was the rarely played Wholly Ghost, [a] with this live album being the only US digital publication of that song. [2] Shortly after this performance King Gizzard would travel to Brooklyn to record I'm in Your Mind Fuzz. [5]

Reception

4 versions of limited editions of LP vinyls of the album where released by The Reverberation Appreciation Society which runs the Levitation festival. [1] [3] Additionally the albums came out shortly before the beginning of their World Tour 2022. [3] Live for Live Music noted the performance of the Mind Fuzz Suite (I'm In Your Mind-I'm Not In Your Mind-Cellophane-I'm In Your Mind Fuzz-Wholly Ghost) and the lengthy rendition of Head On/Pill at the end. [5] The album would also be released for free on as part of the band's official Bootlegger program. [6]

Track listing

The albums were mastered by Joe Carra and mixed by Stu Mackenzie with cover art by C.M Ruiz. [7] The 2014 cover had been considered a piece of Gizzard lost media before the 2021 release. [8]
