EX+ quality stereo soundboard recording.

Notes: I've had this Dat clone since shortly after the show date but was only given permission to share it recently after David Lindley had left us all (RIP!). The suggested switch point for burning CDRs is before track 11. There was a little bit of minor diginoise in a few spots which was cleaned up manually to be barely noticeable. Please support the artists and live venues any way that you can. Enjoy and SHARE!

Music Discussion / Re: Prince. Not a lot of peoples cup of tea, but..

« Last post by Nick B on April 21, 2024, 12:08:47 PM »

Interesting tidbit about Prince. I was at a Rolling Stones concert at the LA Colosseum in about 1981 or so and saw Prince open for the Stones. He came out in some kind of a garter belt get up and the stones fans booed and threw stuff at him. I was at the concert with my girlfriend and her brother and I was only able to get a look through the binoculars. The Stones concert was absolutely amazing. The reason I attended it was because I thought it might be one of the last tours that the Stones might ever do 😆
I found a link that describes what happened at the Colosseum show that I attended.

My 43rd Primus show. This was the sixth and final show I caught on this tour, having flown out to Winnipeg and followed them back west. Recorded from the orchestra section - RC, Row 9, slightly ROC by 1 seat.

This was the first time they used Cage Claypool's music video for Follow The Fool as their live visuals accompanying the song.

Primus played the Orpheum 10 years prior, almost to the day (June 15th, 2012) on the Green Naugahyde Tour.
