This Knitting Factory performance is a rippin' show (almost 90 minutes). It was difficult to select one piece for posting here to announce the re-release. The DC Space performance which adds Amy Denio on voice in one set (there are two 30 minute performances from this show also on the DVD) is also quite impressive.

I got to see The Ex w Tom Cora in Pittsburgh, and a few years later, Curlew w/o Cora.

Both great great great shows!

incredible. I was just listening to my old Knitting Factory cassettes (I have a ton of them). This song came up in their set and I said to myself, I wonder if Curlew is on youtube.....insane. Davey is brilliant.

Great stuff, I got to see them once, around this time, in Pittsburgh.

Smoking. They were a great band, and (so what else is new...) should've gotten a lot more recognition at the time.
