I saw Skinny Puppy for the first time last Saturday and it was quite a show. Even though I haven’t picked up any of their last records, I still really enjoyed it. Especially since they finished with Gods Gift (Maggot), Human Disease (S.K.U.M.M.), and Far Too Frail. But on to this performance. It was recorded and intended for release on vinyl LP through Puppy’s then-European label, Play It Again Sam. Unfortunately, the master tapes were stolen when the touring van was broken into. The show now only exists as a live bootleg audience recording. Just a quick warning, it’s about 30 minutes long, so the file is about 30 MB.

I saw Jason perform three times, in 2004 (Charlottesville), 2006 (Baton Rouge), and 2007 (New Orleans). I spoke with him on two of those occasions. (More...)
