Tenth Anniversary gig, recorded at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis in Sept 1981.
For no other reason than I'm feeling pretty darn excited about seeing this pair in a few weeks down at the Hammersmith Apollo, here's a rip of a nicely packaged vinyl reissue that popped out in 1998.
I would have loved to have been at this gig - it sounds completely fucking mental. Mind you, any gigs I've heard by them are completely fucking mental (esp this one).
As I type this, I am hearing via 6 Music that Liam Gallagher is indeed the best frontman of all time, so before I go and slash my wrists please take the time to download and listen to this wee gem. If any of you are heading to the Stooges/Suicide gig on Sunday 2nd May, lemme know and I'll happily buy you a pint to say 'thanks' for following this blog.

I was playing Sonic Boom's cover of "Rock'n'Roll Is Killing My Life" only the other day. I appear to have this live set as a Roir cassette in a totally different, very 80s sleeve, nice...
Interesting to note that ROIR are reissuing GHOST RIDERS in CD format at the end of this month.
Though, from memory, I think the GHOST RIDERS was released on CD by DANCETERIA label back in '94 / '95.
A perfect companion to the essential six CD '77 - '78 SUICIDE box-set!
Those STOOGES / SUICIDE gigs in May are gonna be awesome!
BUKOWSKI
Unbelievable!
Moggieboy - thanks a million for uploading this 'electronic anarchy' indeed...just happened across your blog today - quick look at the past shows a major Weatherall bias - fantastic!
Sadly unable to make the Suicide/Stooges show which I know i'm gonna regret - due to issues beyond my control I can't get to even local show at the mo and purchases are currently postpones...still, beautiful evening in Glasgow tonite and this has cheered me up no end...
CHEERS - keep up the good work!
Cheers BZA, welcome aboard! Not posting too often these days but was posting like a bastard last year. Any dead links you come across just leave a comment and I'll get on the case.
Agreed, phidget - I'm not fussed about the Stooges, and wouldn't have considered the tickets/expense if it weren't for this pair.
i'm heading down. overnight megabus both ways. like the old days...
