Neutral Milk Hotel | Last Show

My wife recently cleaned up our home office which meant huge stacks of CDs that had been piling up on our desk were stuffed into a filing cabinet. After ignoring the piles for months, I immediately became interested in the stacks once they were gone and started rummaging through the file cabinet to see what had been swept away.

One of the gems that I came across was a disc a friend had sent to me a few years ago. It was a recording of Neutral Milk Hotel's final show. After Jeff Mangum's nervous breakdown and the dissolution of the band, Chris Knox, asked Jeff Mangum to play a show at the King's Arms Tavern in Auckland, New Zealand. The show was billed as the "World of Wild Beards Incorporated" but was basically Jeff Mangum playing solo with just a guitar. For that reason, the show is more similar to Mangum's Live at Jittery Joe's concert album from 1997. The difference is that he seems to be playing an electric guitar here rather than the acoustic guitar at Jittery Joe's.

Unfortunately, besides a few walk-on guest appearances, Mangum has never played live again.

  27. During this period, Mangum was wandering the country, staying in the closets of friends, and in a state of perpetual unemployment. It was in these circumstances that the band's first formal releases took shape. Strictly speaking, however, the 'band' usually consisted of Mangum and whoever else was present at the time. This is obvious on Neutral Milk Hotel's first release, a 7" record entitled Everything Is, recorded when Mangum was spending time in Seattle, Washington, released on Cher Doll Records in 1994.SEO services India are gaining popularity and Asha Infotech, a renowned company offering web and print media solutions and services India are cashing in on this opportunity.

  28. On May 6, 2010, Jeff Mangum played a 5-song acoustic set at the Le Poisson Rouge in Manhattan at a benefit concert for his friend Chris Knox who was undergoing health issues at the time. Despite a message from the concert managers that the show was a one time benefit for Chris Knox and not the restart of Jeff Mangum's musical career, the show sparked rumors that Magnum would begin recording and touring again.
    On December 4, 2010, Jeff Mangum played a surprise 10-song set of Neutral Milk Hotel songs in a Bushwick, Brooklyn loft building known as The Schoolhouse to a crowd of only 100 invited guests.
