I saw 'em 4 times, I think. Definitely saw the tour with Squeeze
opening....then billed as "UK Squeeze". (still have that red disc). I
remember thinking "Dunno who they are, but they're good and they used to
listen to a lot of Beatles"...
The Tubes shows got progressively wilder, with more costumes, etc as time
went along. *Quay* chugging beers and throwing up onstage was always a
classic...
The last time I saw 'em the guy I went with handed us all a bag of
shrooms...Pat Travers opened...and needless to say...by the time the Tubes
hit the stage it was pretty much cartoonland...
TOO MUCH fun!
Saw 'em again in about '98-99 in a small bar in Denver. no costumes, but
still tight...and having a damn good time.
IMO, if you came in late to the game and only associate "She's A Beauty",
etc (top 40 Tubes) with 'em...you missed the madness/the best part of their
stint.

Oops... what I meant to ask was if anyone knows if any of their shows were
videotaped or filmed?

Hey all:
I was going through the vinyl archives the other day and pulled out some
old Tubes albums. I was looking at the concert photos from the inside of
the gatefold sleeve for their "What Do You Want From Live" double album and
thought it would have been pretty incredible to see them when they were
putting on such an elaborate stage show. (Quay Lewd, the dancers, the
costumes, the props, the semi-nudity...!)
Unfortunately, I never did see them perform, but I was wondering if anyone
knows if any of their shows from this era were taped and/or officially
released?
And if you did see them live during this era, was the show as wild as the
pictures suggest?
Thanks,
Mark E.
