Saccharine Trust live in Pasadena CA 1980's

dude, let's face it: they stopped trying after the brilliant 'surviving u always'...those lps are generally not very challenging and not very good.......i guess they figured 'why bother throwing pearls before swine?'

Yeah I guess that's true, but each of the recordings after SYA had their moments...you could probably cull like three-four songs from each of the later records and make one more fantastic one like SYA was.

yes, exactly.........poetry with funky extemporisation lp.....lol......i could dig that........then another funky/psych/metal masterpiece like swa...lol.

it's ok..'surbviving u always' is epic though.

i saw them tons of times with the mighty flag.........they didn't fit in with the punk crowd...poike most outstanding bands like mighty sphinceter / sun city girls / rat at rat r / live skull unsophisticated people had no idea or context to interpret the genius of these bands......so great they put out product, limited as was, in spite of it.

"surviving you always" is a great great lp.....a masterpiece, which in a right world (a world where people were brighter and knew how to listen to higher forms of music) would routinely be played on 'classic rock' staions.

I was at this show. ST opened for the Cramps and Nick Cave. They didn't seem that great in comparison to the other acts on the bill that night but watching it now in a different context they sound pretty good. Although they were obviously nowhere near as good as the Cramps or Cave

Cramps = a hotdog........Sacharine Trust = strange Mexican stew with indo-chinese flourishes......nick cave is like a big loaf of bread....i like layers of meaning, thus i would have to stronlgy disagree with you.

No , the first time I saw BF was in 1984 after Slip It In came out. I went to the Cat's Benefit at the Palladium also but Dez (the least-important BF vox) didn't cut it. Those that agree that Henry wasn't real BF don't matter to me. The Henry, Greg, Kira, Bill era were the best BF being how eclectic they were with their sound/style. That lineup had the most releases also. Punk, metal, jazz, experi, spoken, that lineup had it all. To answer you, yeah, I did see BF at their prime & their best.
