Houdini Live 2005: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust is an album by the Melvins, which was released in 2006 through Ipecac Recordings. It is a live rendition of their 1993 album Houdini.
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. [2] [3] The band played and recorded two sets, picking the best performances from each for the final album. [4]
