The Residents 13th Anniversary Show with Snakefinger

The Seaview Ballroom, St. Kilda. Australia

17th August 1986

2 x Sony ECM 50 mics>Sony Walkman WM D6 >TDK Metal tape>Apple G3 iBook>Amadeus II>aiff>cdr>Apple G4 iBook>FLAC level 8

NOTE ; The tape ran out during 'Monkey and Bunny' and is cross faded together at that point.
It was early in my taping career and they also did large blocks of material, making it harder to find an appropriate turnover point. Still it was a great gig with some lovely guitar from Snakefinger. There is some audience chatter, though it doesn't detract from the music.
As I remember it, there were the four Residents, Snakefinger and two female dancers. This was the last night of three nights at the Seaview.
I saw the Residents again more recently -early 2005, but to my mind these shows in 1986 were much more vibrant, and dare I say, better. I recorded the Brisbane show (8th August '86), it was the same set of material, if there is enough interest (leave messages),I will post that one too.
