Tex & the Horseheads "Spider and the Peach" (1985)

WARNING: MEDIOCRE VIDEO OF RARE ARCHIVAL SHOW

Today, I'm sharing a 24 year-old video of Tex & the Horseheads that's never been shared outside a small circle of friends. This is Tex & the Horseheads performing "Spider and the Peach, which I think is an original track by the band.

This performance is from an event produced by KFJC Radio and I.B.S. at the Works Gallery in San Jose, California on November 22, 1985. The video camera used was an old tube camera that really hated low-light situations, so there was a fair amount of tweaking to make this video presentable.

This video is courtesy of Eric Predoehl, who shot this footage, and has been sitting on it all these years. It wasn't quite up to his usual standards, but he was convinced by some friends to share it on YouTube, simply because it captures a historic moment that nobody else had.
