Some nice aspects of this concert and its circumstances as well as further pictures can be read and seen in this wonderful blog http://sistersfan.blogspot.com/2015/10/pre-falaa-at-gala.html

Eldritch is on his usual banterous form between songs, teasing the crowd about which cover songs would be played and then dedicating Jolene to “all the people that tolerated us in dresses at the Hacienda last night”, another famous incident which
has itself since passed into TSOM folklore.

RE-UPLOAD: All About Eve - Leeds Polytechnic, Leeds, UK - 18.02.1988 - Plus Interviews and Videos (Flac/Vob)

 





Excellent post by Egg_Crisis!

Interviews(FM Radio,off-air master,TDK D90)

Before Candytree Julianne says "Did you watch Calendar tonight? That was a bit funny". Calendar is a regional TV show broadcast live from from 6.00-6.30pm on ITV. I've included the video of their appearance as well as a tiny clip of one of the songs from the gig shown on BBC1's regional show "Look North" about 6 weeks later.

Tape flip (on my c60) between Wild Hearted Woman & This Hour, but with a slight overlap so nothing is missing. I always assumed this was a 1st gen because I got it 4 days after the gig from the person who taped it, but I found another bit of repeated audio just before In the Meadow which I removed. Therefore I think they probably recorded this on a c120, then copied it onto a c90, then made my copy from their copy. Perhaps they had a c120 they used for gig recordings, copying then re-using it.

For some reason I didn't go to this gig, I can't remember why, maybe tickets were sold out.

I also included an interview Julianne did on Radio Aire a couple of hours before the gig, and also a Radio 1 interview that has no relevance to this particular gig but I found it while looking for the Radio Aire interview so might as well include it.




Setlist:

01 Intro : What Kind Of Fool
02 Every Angel
03 Candytree
04 Never Promise (Anyone Forever)
05 In The Clouds
06 Flowers In Our Hair
07 Shelter From The Rain
08 Wild Hearted Woman
09 This Hour
10 What Kind Of Fool
11 In The Meadow
12 Paradise
13 Our Summer
14 Every Angel

I don't know why Look North showed a clip of the gig 6 weeks after it happened.
I saw the the final few moments of the show myself, managing to record the last half second, and a friend managed a little better, getting this 29 sec clip.  I've no idea how much more of the song was shown.

Very Good FM recording. Thanks to the original uploader.

Original Info File:

3) Mark Says Alright
4) Johnny Smoke
5) Graveyard
6) Sweat Loaf
7) 100 Million People Were Dead
8) Cherub
9) Psychedelic Jam

This is definitely an upgrade from the millions of bootlegs floating around of this, which is why I chose it as my first Butthole Surfers upload...let's stop the nonsense of shitty bootlegs, shall we?

You can find parts of this available as the 'Acid House', 'Dick Gas 45' and 'Maung' bootlegs, but none of them have the complete broadcast and all of them are from a multi-gen'd source.

Here is the complete show from the master tape of the original broadcast, including the original IDs cut by the Minutemen and Tex & the Horseheads as the intro! The source tape is a tad old, hence, there is some warble to start off and some slight dynamics loss at times, but still a strong B+ \ A-, and certainly better, and more complete than what has circulated in the past.

The band was a four piece at this time, with only KING on drums, prior to Teresa's return from her hiatus, and post Cabbage's tenure.

take a gander...

well. Enjoy this, but fer chrissakes...

please do not encode or disseminate MP3s of this! It's an upgrade, remember?!

The Psylons - a band from Portsmouth uk, shared a label with the Cranes (jim shaw produced their 'Gimp' album in 1994) for a while. a kind of punky psychedelic chameleons, hope you like it.
This is all their output from 1986-1991, and  includes all their singles in chronologcal order, their cassette 'psylons is golden', and 'seperate ways' which is a BBC session track from 1986. None of them ever made it to CD format.
