Houdini Live 2005: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust is an album by the Melvins, which was released in 2006 through Ipecac Recordings. It is a live rendition of their 1993 album Houdini.
Background and recording
In 2005, the Melvins were invited to play Houdini in its entirety by All Tomorrow's Parties for their Don't Look Back series. After performing, the band thought it would make for a good live album, but they had not recorded their set. Consequently, the band then rented an empty warehouse and played the set to an invitation-only crowd.{{cite web|last=Pierce|first=Ken|title=Houdini Live 2005: A Live History Of Gluttony And Lust by The Melvins|url=http://piercingmetal.com/houdini-live-2005-a-live-history-of-gluttony-and-lust-by-the-melvins/|publisher=Piercing Metal|date=June 21, 2006}} The band played and recorded two sets, picking the best performances from each for the final album.{{cite web |last1=Gramlich |first1=Christ |title=The Melvins Houdini Live 2005 |url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/melvins-houdini_live_2005 |website=Exclaim! |access-date=3 May 2020 |date=1 May 2006}}
