BEEHIVE CANDY

This is the second live recording of The Tubes featured on Beehive Candy, this one from 1981, on this occasion live at The Palladium, New York City, USA. This concert was also circulated on a promo disc (radio transcription vinyl album) at the time. A bootleg version called Shocker has also circulated. I think based on the quality of this recording it is from an off air FM recording. Source: King Biscuit Flower Hour recording (not currently available within Wolfgangs Vault). Sound Quality: Good stereo (FM source) mp3 @128kbps. Genre: Rock, from Pop Rock to New Wave. Set: One hour of concert (some other songs probably edited out). Set List: 1.

My first memories of The Tubes , was hearing Radio Caroline play 'Don't Touch Me There' back in 1976, at a time when BBC Radio & the UK's fledgling commercial stations bent over backwards to ban anything that was remotely risque, or questionable... well anything! A number of The Tubes band members were students at the same high school in Phoenix, Arizona, as Alice Cooper, what were they putting in the water back there and then? This recording was made at a time when The Tubes were arguably moving towards their first creative peak, which was both visual and musical. This then is The Tubes live at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, USA, on the 26th June 1976. Source: Tricky one this. I thought it was definitely an expanded version of a King Biscuit Flower Hour recording, however their site partly contradicts this, any how it's a professionally mixed recording. Sound Quality: Very good stereo soundboard quality @ 192kbps. Genre: Rock, from Pop Rock to New Wav...
