American singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers has surprised fans with the release of a new live EP titled Live at Madison Square Garden, bringing recordings from one of her special performances to a wider audience.
The project is available as a Tidal exclusive and features five live recordings captured during her Madison Square Garden show.
Five songs from a special performance
The EP features live versions of five songs: "Lost Boys", "Kill Me", "I Can't Wait", "Other Plans" and "Long Lost Weekend". The recordings offer listeners a chance to experience the atmosphere and musical interpretation of the concert beyond the original live audience.
The Madison Square Garden performance formed part of Bridgers' series of phone-free shows associated with her Lost Weekend events. The approach placed greater emphasis on the live experience, encouraging audiences to engage with the performance rather than document it through their phones.
A Tidal-exclusive release
Unlike a conventional wide-platform release, Live at Madison Square Garden has been made available exclusively through Tidal. Fans can access the project through the platform, with a separate purchase option also reported for listeners without a subscription.
The release adds another dimension to Bridgers' ongoing Lost Tour campaign and gives fans a recorded version of a performance that was designed to feel distinctive and personal.
Tour continues beyond the United States
The live EP arrives as Bridgers' Lost Tour moves towards the conclusion of its United States run before continuing with European dates during November and December.
For fans who attended the Madison Square Garden show, the project offers a way to revisit the performance. For those who missed it, the five-track collection provides a glimpse into the live atmosphere and arrangements of the concert.
By turning a special live performance into a limited-platform release, Bridgers is also highlighting the continuing value of exclusive music experiences in an industry increasingly shaped by streaming and digital distribution.
