This month marks the 26th anniversary of the first time the Butthole Surfers played Detroit. Here is that show, a showcase fer Corey Rusk who was very interested in putting the band on Touch & Go even before this show…and no doubt was more interested after seeing it.
An odd show that is slightly disparate, possibly because of the recent addition of Terence Smart on bass a week prior, or maybe because of the addition of so many new songs into the setlist. The band had a month or so to work on new material prior to Terence joining the band, and they used that time to pen some true classics in “Cherub”, “To Parter” and “Tornadoes”.
The “Whirling Hall of Knives” closer is a real treat as well.
Some warts on the recording, a tad ‘hot’ in spots, but overall really nice, and an important document of the band sealing the deal with Touch & Go.
