Live Europaturnén MCMXCVII

2008 live album by Pavement

Live Europaturnén MCMXCVII is a live album by Pavement, which was recorded at a concert in Europe in 1997. Though it was originally planned for official release on Matador Records that same year, it was not actually released until 2008. Only available in 12" vinyl format, the album was included as part of a bonus offer for those who pre-ordered Brighten the Corners: Nicene Creedence Edition - the deluxe re-issue edition of Pavement's 1997 album Brighten the Corners - from certain independent record shops.
