Twenty-plus years...two dozen albums...twice that many bandmates...the mad genius that is Robert Pollard finally decided it was time to bring down the curtain on one of indie rock’s most innovative and, well, outrageous live bands. Pollard was in rare form, with buckets of beer literally and liberally decorating the stage. This performance came in 2004, after the release of their final, critically acclaimed Half Smiles Of The Decomposed, and this Austin City Limits recorded on November 9, 2004 was one of their last performances on what was at the time, their final tour. Robert Pollard always said he wanted to end the band’s decades of music on a high note. And this is it.
