Release Date 27th November 2026
RSD Black Friday Release
This is how good of a live album Rock Spectacle is: even though “Brian Wilson” had been released as a studio track back in 1992, it took the rollicking performance on this 1996 release to make the song a hit. But, in retrospect, it’s not that surprising; Barenaked Ladies were and are great on stage (you can hear the connection they have with their audience throughout this recording), so the success of Rock Spectacle totally makes sense. Indeed, this album really represented their breakthrough in the U.S., and teed up their ascent to superstardom with its Stunt follow-up. For its vinyl debut on its 30th anniversary, we’ve remastered the album for vinyl and pressed 3500 copies in orange vinyl. One of the great live acts of their generation, caught at their best!
