A real rarity live performance by The Tubes. Fee Waybill was not in the band, David Killingsworth was singing lead vocals. The unintentional hilarity of this live recording cannot be overlooked.
The audience sure was not happy, note the “warm” NJ reception just before Sports Fans when Bill Spooner asks for the baseball score, an audience member is heard to comment “who gives a rat’s ass”. The general negative banter during the show is pure comedy gold.

Killingsworth sounds like Dirk Diggler trying to sing “Feel The Heat” in the movie Boogie Nights as a lead vocalist. Not good.

This is the only recording I know of that has “No Baby’s Gonna Break My Heart” and “Walk on By” and the “Tubes Rap”.

The master tape was lost for over 25 years and only recently a safety copy found, now I bring it to you.

Musicians:

David Killingsworth vocals
Bill Spooner guitar
Roger Steen guitar
Rick Anderson bass
Vince Welnick keyboards
Prairie Prince drums
