Crazy Improv (part 1) - 18.12.95 - Mr. Bungle & Melt-Banana

Mr. Bungle & Melt-Banana live @ The Fillmore, San Francisco CA on 18 December 1995 executing a totally impromptu but well-calculated improvisation. Yasuko of Melt-Banana can be seen with the hoola-hoola hawaiian esque hat next to Mike, kicking proceedings off with those shrieks. Rika Mmm! MB's bassist is here with a microphone and is the petite one in the blue-ish mask & jacket beside Trevor Dunn, who appears to be directing the other musicians at one point. Agata, Melt-Banana's guitarist can be spotted intermittently just behind Trey. =)

I would like to see you walk in a shallow stream whilst eating a transperant burrito.

I believe I read about this performance that Trevor wasn't happy, as Mike was supposed to give a signal to move to the next part of the song. This is Everyone I Went To High School With Is Dead, which has some standard improv sections, but Mike decided to really extend the improv bits.

[armills20]

children don't have the conceptual ideas behind it.

Of course its music... Look up the definition of music, everything can be music and this happens to be music. Just cause you don't like or your mind can't comprehend it, doesn't make it not music. I would like to see you listen to avant garde jazz, i really would.

[shipuuga]

the thing is, a group of small children with no musical experience would generate about the same thing, but i'm always a sucker for improv/psych/strange.

oh, drugs too.
