Italian Feast (Live In NYC '25) - Deluxe Edition
King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard
Italian Feast (Live In NYC '25) — Deluxe Edition is a live release by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, issued through Having Fun Records (a Toronto-based label operated by We Are Busy Bodies) as part of the label's officially sanctioned Bootlegger Series. The performance was captured on August 2, 2025 — Night 2 of a special two-night stand at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, where Night 1 had featured an orchestral show with the Orchestra of St. Luke's performing the band's Phantom Island album. Night 2 was an unconstrained rock and roll set, drawing from across the band's sprawling 27-album catalogue. The 18-track, roughly two-hour performance opens with "Gaia" and moves through heavy psych-rock staples like "Predator X," "Superbug," "Minimum Brain Size," and "Extinction," before closing with a 13-minute, effects-drenched "Hypertension." A standout moment is a sprawling "The Grim Reaper" that embedded cheeky Beastie Boys quotes — including "Intergalactic," "Sabotage," and "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)" — mid-song, as setlist.fm documents.
The Deluxe Edition leans fully into Having Fun Records' reputation for playful, object-oriented packaging. As Rough Trade describes it, the release is pressed as a full-colour picture disc — Side A depicting a pepperoni pizza, Side B a heaping plate of spaghetti and meatballs — accompanied by a Caesar salad and garlic bread-themed flexi disc and, appropriately, a custom printed napkin. The Deluxe Edition's vinyl tracklist draws a highlights selection from the full night, including "Gaia," "Predator X," "Supercell," "Road Train," "Superbug," "Minimum Brain Size," "Oddlife," "The Grim Reaper," and "Rats In The Sky," with a catalogue number of LPHVGF018X and a release date of May 15, 2026. The release is a characteristic product of the band's long-standing embrace of live documentation and fan community participation — King Gizzard routinely self-releases soundboard recordings of their performances, and Having Fun's Bootlegger Series transforms select nights into collectible physical artifacts.
