Synopsis

Album Details

The Tubes were Arch Satirists of Popular Culture Whose Outrageous Performance-art Concepts - which Swung Wildly from Soft-core Pornography to Suit-and-tie Conservatism - Frequently Eclipsed their Elusive Musical Identity. The Beginnings of the Group Originate in Phoenix, Arizona in the Late '60s, Where Guitarist Bill Spooner, Keyboardist Vince Welnick and Bassist Rick Anderson Formed as the Beans (Alternately Billing Themselves as the Radar Men from Uranus). After Moving to San Francisco in 1972, the Beans Recruited Guitarist Roger Steen and Drummer Prairie Prince (From Red, White and Blues), and Later Became the Tubes with the Addition of Michael Cotten on Keyboards and Former Roadie Fee Waybill on Lead Vocals.

(3 out of 5 stars)

"The cover (which lacks the flair of the Prince/Cotten handiwork) says it all. This is likely an unauthorized release of a concert recorded circa 1976. Interesting from a historical perspective, the recording is undermined by fairly muddy sound quality.

On the other hand, I do not know of any other source for a live rendition of "Pimp," one of the true gems of the Tubes catalogue. If you can get past the low-fidelity, you will enjoy the precision musicianship of the opening Grandiose Overture (a variation on the "Overture" from "What Do You want From Live") and the silliness of the group's classic live shows. This should get most die-hard fans primed for the release of the upcoming Tubes Documentary due out this spring."
