Murder Of The Universe (Live At Red Rocks 2022) is a live recording by Australian psychedelic/progressive rock collective King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, capturing performances of their ambitious concept album Murder Of The Universe in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado during their 2022 U.S. tour. It was released as part of the band’s official “Bootlegger” series on 23 June 2023, with physical editions (including limited‑edition colored vinyl and puzzle bundles) issued by independent labels like We Are Busy Bodies.
This live set presents the songs from Murder Of The Universe—originally a 2017 studio album with a three‑chapter sci‑fi narrative blending heavy psych rock, metal‑tinged passages, spoken‑word storytelling, and wild genre shifts—in an immersive concert format. The band’s performance at Red Rocks follows their marathon 2022 shows at the iconic venue (documented in the massive Live at Red Rocks ’22 release), with this condensed edition focusing specifically on the Murder Of The Universe material.
The live release includes themes and tracks from the original album’s acts—such as the surreal “Altered Beast” sequences, the mythic duel of “The Lord Of Lightning” and “The Balrog,” and the dystopian cyborg arc featuring “Han‑Tyumi, The Confused Cyborg” and the title piece—showcasing the band’s high‑energy blend of psychedelia, prog, metal, and narrative theatrics paired with tight musicianship and generous jam‑band exploration.
The performance lineup features core band members such as Stu Mackenzie, Cook Craig, Joey Walker, Ambrose Kenny‑Smith, Lucas Harwood, and Michael Cavanagh, with the setlist presented in two sides (vinyl) that mirror the journey of the original Murder Of The Universe suite. The live recording was mixed by Stu Mackenzie and mastered by Noah Mintz, capturing both the band’s sonic ferocity and the unique outdoor ambience of Red Rocks.
