After
a seven year hiatus, the members of Garbage decided it was a good time to
regroup and see if they still had what it takes to make great music. Their new
studio album Not Your Kind Of People and subsequent world tour, captured here
on film at the Ogden Theatre in Denver, Colorado on October 6, 2012, prove they
do. Lead singer Shirley Manson remains the focal point of the band as she
struts the stage in a black outfit that’s both a little sexy and scary. Her
voice is strong and he commanding stage presence is a sharp reminder to all the
musical pretenders out there that you don’t need a lot of backup singers,
dancers and pre-recorded vocals to do a show; all you need is real talent. The
bonus of watching Garbage in concert on this disc, though, is getting to see and
hear he twin guitars of Steve Marker and Duke Erikson, the backbone of a band
standing ramrod straight at the height of its power.
