HIves - Live at Third Man Records - Vinyl Record

In 2019, The Hives played a string of sold-out shows across the US. The tour kicked off in Nashville where they performed at the Blue Room. The band was on fire, and their performance incited full arena-pit pogo energy. They played some of their career-spanning hits, including Tick Tick Boom and the unforgettable and fresh-as-ever Hate To Say I Told You So. 

The evening began with the buzz of the band's neatly-penned neon backdrop, which was all cool, sleek and electrified. The Hives then breezed into the room wearing smartly-tailored white dinner jackets, looking like RNR double-O agents. They started with a 1-2 punch of Come On! and Walk Idiot Walk, and for the rest of the set, the band didn't miss a beat. The performance felt like a rare moment of full attention and participation, something that we missed so badly during a time when live shows just weren't an option. 

There's no doubt about it: The Hives are one of the best live bands in rock n roll. The direct-to-acetate album is proof of their incredible talent and energy.
