In 2005, the Melvins were invited to play
Houdini in its entirety by
All Tomorrow's Parties for their
Don't Look Back series. After performing, the band thought it would make for a good live album, but they had not recorded their set. Consequently, the band then rented an empty warehouse and played the set to an invitation-only crowd. The band played and recorded two sets, picking the best performances from each for the final album. ==Track listing==
