performer Snakefinger
performer The Residents
Recorded At The Ritz, New York
Download only, available at Robot Selling Device (RSD).

This is from January 16th, 1986. It was originally recorded on a cassette directly from the front of house mixing board. It is not the entire show. However... it is about 74 minutes of the show - some of the show was not recorded or was technically inferior. The cassette quality is surprisingly good, you probably wouldn't have known if I had not said it was a cassette. Snakefinger is on-fire. First of two sold-out nights at the Ritz in New York. In the audience are Andy Warhol and Yoko Ono. After seeing this performance Mr. Warhol proclaims The Residents as his favorite band. You might need this. (note from RSD website)
