The Residents live in Oslo 1/4

[SmurfAndBuffalo]

Where are the eyeball suits? I thought they always wore them?

[wikitubeperson]

I want to be them

[23cornchip]

All these folk they close in on in the audience have been thouroughly mind-blown

[XGlitchManX]

Fuuck lady gaga, fuuuck Eminem, this is music!

[vina55a]

Quality shaumlity, its amazing to see this kind of thing. Thank you.

[poplex222]

whats the name of the first song?

[PrimusSucksOnThis]

Geniuses!

[ctsk8er1]

i heard the residents are the house band in hell. i can't wait to see em live.

[thebigdiegowski]

Zappa and The Residents are the most amazing thing in the world.

[notusingtheZword]

Man, I love his tux in this show.

[sanstitle]

Why oh why can't The R's realese this and The Mole Show (not that have-assed Ralph official release ) on DVD?>

[notusingtheZword]

@sanstitle You mean the Demons Dance Alone DVD? If that's the one you're calling half-arsed, it's anything but.

[sanstitle]

@notusingtheZword No no no...What I'm saying is I'd like to see an official release COMPLETE version of 13th anniversery AND The Mole Show instead of these bits and pieces scattered about. What I meant by "half assed" (half-assed=incomplete and using computer graphics as fill in) was that "official" Ralph records VHS of The Mole Show.The music by the Residents is NOT half assed.I know Ralph realeased a limited edition DVD of The Mole Show (Complete Show-1 camera shot)

[sanstitle]

@notusingtheZword I just would like to see an Ofiicial release of complete versions of these early shows. I wasn't talking about Demons Dance Alone which is excellent btw.

[MondoReyTV1]

OMFG!!!

I cannot believe how good this is!!!

[davesblueguitar]

This is totally sick. Love it!!!

[jackal59]

I can't find Molly's diary of this tour, but by my memory she says she was terribly sick at this show.

[dougzilla]

What a great performance. Thanks for posting.

[franzen93]

I was at this concert and I'll be there 2 May

[equalcharliebrown]

yeah, other than one or two moments of fuzz, this easily the best live video I've seen of the res on the net.

[theo9952]

i can't see anything wrong about the picture quality. i have the whole 30 mitutes of it and it's great. in fact i prefer this, to the official DVD of this show, which is edited and ...non-live...In fact the sound in it is live, taken from one show but the picture is treated and taken from many shows. this one is a honest live performance. such a pity it is only thirty minutes long...

[ZLUGGO]

Jag anser att Residents är bizarra och otäcka.

[countshane]

ha ha ha this kind of reminds me of Bioshock for some reason.

[Ultrasecond]

It ought to. A lot of parallels in design - particularly the masks and extreme stage-lighting.

[ZLUGGO]

@jamminjoseph

Oslo is in Norway, not in Sweden.

[nakedfunk]

lol at 1:26

[booshgrrl]

Wow. A guy I know really likes this guy, and it is possibly one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Wow is really the only word to describe it. Weird certainly doesn't cover it.

[jamjamski]

Molly Molly Molly!

[1234567LOTO]

Liker denne koregrafien. Fantastisk forestilling!

Opptaket er veldig godt hvis man tar hensyn til alt som finnes på youtube:)

[scottdavis0801]

Hey, the quality looks pretty good to me. thanks

[sclogse1]

Their great games...Freak Show, etc. should be reissued on OSX...

[joznick1]

that would be so awesome

[gromitube]

iNCREIBLEMENTEBUENISIMOOO...!!­!

Tanks..!!

[turduckenband]

awesome

that guy at 1:26 looks like hes enjoying the show

[jrhersh80]

It looks like he is thinking WTF?

[jrhersh80]

at 1:26

[DMcFlee88]

He did look rather perplexed

[wgaule]

Love the Residents. And the picture ain't all that bad. I've seen a lot worse on youtube

[TheWaspJar]

Molly Harvey rocks!

[28pies]

Homer Flynn has such an awesome voice !

[PhoenixFire001]

I love you guys i love you guys the best band ever i own all of your albums (one of them, and it's my brother's) KISSES :v

[B12345678910]

Hello if any of you have the time could you listen to Nicotine Toothpaste on my page and give me you opinion as it's still not finished thanks.

[redwarrj1]

Mickey Macaroni is such a good song.

[mrnosaj]

I kinda wish the album version was the same as the live, but it certainly isn't bad either way.

[ChrisDulk]

I wish the live version of Honey Bear was the album version! such a great guitar in the live version!

[JesustheLizard]

I love the singer, he is great

[JukeBOxSurf]

Oh never mind .

[JukeBOxSurf]

Can someone please tell me what is the name of the first song? Thank you.

[ChrisDulk]

Betty's Body

[turduckenband]

betty's body

[looshkin66]

bettys body

[ThousandthSkies]

this concert is fucking incredibile!

[MagicBrainFarm]

I had always loved the lyrics of these great 4.

[ElAlborodator]

That guitar tone is absolutely brilliant! Does anyone know what effect pedals he is using?

[angelaelmi67]

Bellissimo. Peccato non essere stati la'a vederlo.

[SaraTGinMD]

It almost seems like Robert Fripp playing the guitar in the Mickey Macaroni song

[Shabutie103]

Wow weird but really cool

[mephigog]

Excellent post, thank you so much.

[astrosim]

This was a great show, me and my brother where there. Most enjoyable concert i have seen in Oslo.

[KungKokos]

great stuff! (and the picture quality is better than most on youtube)

[TitoSirico]

Mickey Macaroni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE RESIDENTS SON LOS MAESTROS DEL WORLD

[HallmarkSweptWinger]

They`re still awesome! This live show was great!!!

[uncleboheeka]

I love the guitar tone, it remins me of early 80's zappa.

[gzaulm]

that's exactly what I was just thinking.

[manchufu]

This is so weird....but fascinating nevertheless

[svartmetall]

Captivating; it's like Brecht doing 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' with a dollop of Commedia Dell'Arte. Once I'd watched this segment I had to watch all four. Great stuff.

[SkeletonFrets]

damn this is awesome

[ipermegamorte]

just lovin' them

[knoxlobster]

very simmilar set to my deamons dance alone dvd so far

[Ultrasecond]

The costuming is great in this. They're like a perverse raggedy Ann & Andy surrounded by ghosts composed out of army surplus ghigli suits and taunted by a Demon/Imp/Devil character from old european pantomime shows.

[Nisseliten112]

freaking retards O.O

[timothypillowcase92]

More interesting than you.

[Prayermad]

The weirdness of The Residents is overvalued. They are actually popmen at heart. I'd say they make "Avant-Pop", the music is weird on the outside, but actually has a pretty simple structure. Nevertheless they are very unique and one of my favourite bands. I just don't think they are all that "out there" if you know what I mean. Great performance!

[shiambles]

the people in oslo ?

[Ultrasecond]

Structural simplicity doesn't detract from weirdness. Surrealism often plays on simple elements it shrouds in elaborate symbols.

[Prayermad]

yes; that is the charm about the residents alum duck stab. simple but effective. i didnt say that the residents werent weird.

[ospididious]

MTV needs to go back to playing these guys. The crap they play now makes kids stupid and narcissistic. I love the residents.

[bendesmond66]

@ospididious i didnt even know about the residents till 2 months ago but i really like them now

[rubikscube10111]

@ospididious

This stuff makes kids retarded

[PrimusSucksOnThis]

@rubikscube10111 Your comments make kids retarded.

[ospididious]

@rubikscube10111

Excuse me? No. This particular piece of music will open and expand the mind of any child. Clearly you are an adult whose mind has already closed itself off and any possibility of accepting that others may benefit from anything outside of your personal qualifications and parameters. Try listening to some other selections from them and realize that geniuses like Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Les Claypool, T-Walker and Mike Patton influence your favorite artists...

[vina55a]

@ospididious Perfectly put. Don't forget Nick Cave and the bad seeds or Birthday Party.

[ertznay]

@ospididious "Go back to playing these guys"?? When was emptyTV ever remotely cool enough to play The Residents?

[dronescapes]

I'm sad that I discovered The Residents right after this tour ended. Hopefully they'll do at least one more.

[goatenhiem]

Wow, what a performance. I would gladly travel to the ends of the Earth to see these guys in concert.

[vyvyan109]

are these guys from the same planet as frank zappa? or did frank fake his own death?

[Kandeal]

Este es el mejor show que he visto de The Residents!

[RobertRAR]

It just doesn't get any better than this! The Residents may very well be the greatest band of all time.

[Ultrasecond]

Greatest experimental band, maybe. Although that's debatable.

[ChrisDulk]

there's nothing debatable about the greatness of the Rez

[Ultrasecond]

They're great in and of themselves but it's not like everything they make is a successful experiment. A lot of their charm is their willingness to take risks. Sometimes it's awesome and other times it doesn't come off right.

[marianamansur]

amazing, whichs this concert year?

[Rensra]

Why...why do they just...kick ass?

this is the most amazing thing i've heard in a long time...

[Ultrasecond]

Everyone I've shown this clip to has become instant Residents fans.

[fritzdoom]

Ahhhh, magical memories!

I realy hope the come back to Oslo, though I doubt it:( They will always be my number 1 band.

Eyeball-madness:)

[Rensra]

I didn't know the residents were able to produce such a sound/song...this is so not them musically...but I still love it.

[Kandeal]

Look friend, dont't be more popeist than the Pope, como sea que se traduzca "No seas más papista que el Papa". I'm an older fan like you and at first moment think that way, but then... Anyway, all the elements are there, but what would blow people minds is that now the band rocks!

[Nanitoito]

grande residents y MISTERIOUS LADY es super rrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiikkkkk­kkkaaaaaaaaaa conchetumare

[SaraTGinMD]

From the comments I`m reading here should I assume this isn`t a group that has always had or always has the same members performing?

[BaronGrevling]

Nobody can be sure. None of the Residents have revealed their identities. It's all just speculation.

[LordSluk]

homer flynn, the president of the cryptic is one of the residents. He has obscurely revealed this. Check the wikipedia post on the residents.

[CaptainMythos]

Great Stuff,Love The Residents

[hotpoot]

Almost forgot - Kogler many, many thanks for putting this up. The video quality is great, and I've enjoyed this more than the Demons Dance Alone official release.

[hotpoot]

I notice no one mentions Hardy Fox. He's in there...

[Numinous123]

Is the first song about incest?

Seems to be about a guy singing about his sister.

Creepy, weird, and funny.

Residents rule!

[Ultimopaso]

The residents se convirtieron en su propia parodia !!!

[robtucker63]

Then again, Eric Drew Feldman may be the keyboard player on the left. On myspace it lists his credits with the Residents as playing bass and accordian as well as keyboards.

Thanks for posting this! Great version of Micki Macaroni.

[Damphear]

it is him. he isnt siting down tho. thats some one else.

the curly hair gave it away

[robtucker63]

Best guess:

Nolan Cook - guitar

Eric Drew Feldman - other keyboard player (on far right)

Toby Dammit - percussion

I think all are listed on the DVD as performers, though not identified by instrument. It's been a while since I watched it.

[theledzeppguy]

The girl is Molly Harvey

The boy singer is Homer Flynn

Hardy Fox on keyboards

I don't know who the others could be.

[draftdodger]

I think it's Molly Harvey.

[Primus91]

awesome concert

[russolo]

Nice!

I prefer it rather than the official whole "night vision" DVD

[uburei]

mickey macaroni kicks ASSSS!!!!!

whho's that girl?

[Skuz555]

I believe it could be Gerri Lawlor. She is credited on the Tweedles album. when I looked her up I got the person who does the female Simlish on the Sims so I'm not sure if it's the same person but I believe it very well could be.

[Skuz555]

but then again, Who Are The Residents?:P

[Erlendolsen]

Very good! Exellent! Anyone knows if the deamons dance alone DVD is good? Its quite expensive in the nearest DVD shop

[knoxlobster]

its exactly the same as this, same tour, some backdrop, same costumes same songs, better quality.

[humboldtmyche]

Very cool ......the picture quality is FINE !! Long live the eyeballed ones.

[modernlifeproduction]

i love the residents, i wish uk tv would show awesome performances like this, all we get is madonna and justin timberlake live

[trsdos]

Amazing.

[bookofthoth]

When was this filmed?

[ChrisDulk]

Eyeballs forever!

[theledzeppguy]

Bad quality? I can't tell.

great performance, great band

Homer Flynn's voice is the voice that narrates my nightmares!

[Bebetakos]

Great song great band and great performance.the video quality is very good so don't worry about that.

[28pies]

oh wow try to keep this on here, i dont youtube to take this off.
