I must have seen the Tubes 15 times during the 80s/90s.
Avatar 12:22pm

I saw them once -- but I'd be lying if I said I really remembered it. I do remember that I enjoyed myself, though....
  12:25pm
Dean:

Saw them once at a Southern California university campus. Festival seating. Result was a riot, windows smashed. But I loved the band.
Avatar 12:28pm
Tony Coulter:

Oddly, this Conversion track (on now) kinda reminds me of Genesis.
Avatar 🥁 12:28pm
Nick S.:

Saw the tubes 8 years ago in a downtown summer concert series. No one knew who the fuck they were. They had one of the lowest turnouts of the series, and they were incredible. Played for two hours with a mostly original lineup. I don't think I'll ever forget the sight of a 70yo, shirtless Waybill with a TV on his head.

The show I saw was April 4, 1976, at CSU Fullerton, $5.50: http://www.lookatstubs.com/displayticket.php?name=kcbands_thetubes_calstate3_040476&forsale

Steve Mackay is the sax player on this Artichokes track, btw
Avatar 🥁 12:38pm
Nick S.:

and I never got up close because it sounded better a bit back. He looked old but probably in better shape than I am now at 50. A very strange retro show that certainly ranks as one of my top 10 retro shows. They blew me away and I've never been the biggest fan. I didn't know half the songs.

And ... Rozz Rezabek was Courtney Love's boyfriend, pre-Kurt. Owns an antique store in Portland now.
Avatar 1:26pm

Plus, most importantly, he was in Theatre of Sheep.
  1:33pm
Dean:

Maybe *most* most importantly he was in Mentors (wow!) and, purportedly, Sleepers. I remember seeing the Sleepers in LA at the Whisky, when Ricky Williams was the vocalist. Was Rezabek really in that band?

Holy smoke, Tony! I had that song "Me and Orange" on a cassette I recorded in high school in the mid-80s. It's been stuck in my head for YEARS, and I never knew who did it. (I finally found out last year). Amazed to see it on your playlist

Hi Tony. Got a bit of teaching on Esperanto on Continental Subway, some time back. Knowing a bit of some European languages, I'd guess the title of the Ixna track is something like 'I'm not speaking'.

Can someone please remind me. An EP - how come you got, say four tracks on a 7" record. Still plays at 45rpm?
Avatar 2:06pm
Tony Coulter:

Sometimes -- most of the time they play at 33rpm ... but that's legal in my book, as long as the record is a 7"-er.

Legal for Singles Going Steady week, I mean.....

Blast from the past, Bizarros. I think the only track of theirs I have is on the Akron sampler from Stiff.

And the only Sordide Sentimental record I ever owned was Joy Division's "Dead Souls," which I picked up new around the time of its release. Sold it later for a *ton* of cash.

Damnit! I missed Voice Farm's "Sleep"! I heard them live at Madame Wong's--or was it Hong Kong Cafe?--in LA's Chinatown. Their show opened as they--two guys, as I recall--walked into the audience in the dark snapping Polaroid pictures.
