It was later put out on the non-existent "Black Label Records" and sold in music shops (possibly the same Seattle area shops that sold the tickets, Fallout Records and Cellophane Square). My personal theory is that this was "bootlegged" to recoup the associated production costs, as the footage/production is of professional quality and ready for public release. This is quite a shame as this performance, while not necessarily the best of the final tour, is much better than the show used for "Pig Pile." This recording is missing two songs, RIP (between Cables and Fish Fry) and Pavement Saw (between Deep Six and Dead Billy) for unknown reasons.

At least the vid has some of the Black Outs playing on the catwalk as we wandered in. Not nearly enough Jesse Bernstein performing his poetry. including "This is music asshole!" funny thing was that before I went I smoked (A lot) watched Toxic Avenger, then off to the steamplant.

Still No. 1 on the best concerts I've seen in my lifetime.

[lucasjkr1]

Can anyone send a link to download the original. I used to have it on VHS but alas, my tape player ate it years and years ago....

[MadThespian]

@luvdupraver Actually have a copy of that. Took me over 18 months to dl via the torrents. I was stuck at 96%, but I kept it active in the hope that it would finish. One morning I woke up, and it was done. And it's a nice copy too!

[luvdupraver]

@MadThespian some introduction! check the videos of Pigpile (their show at London's Hammersmith Clarendon in 1987)

[MadThespian]

This show was aired in two parts on Bombshelter Videos. That's how I was introduced to Big Black.

thank the lord that this show was filmed, thank fucking gawd!

This was an awesome show! They had a guy pulling cards as to what song would be played next, in fact you can see him here at the end doing just that. Also, during the explanation of this, Albini said that if anybody shouted out any song titles they would take that card out and rip it up. Pretty fucken cool!
