ASBESTOS DEATH.

If you're a regular visitor here to the L-RV, then there's no fucking doubt that you're aware of who the fuck Asbestos Death was / is.
On top of that, this here live set sounds pretty fucking nice - especially since it's been 20 fucking years since this show happened.

They were unique at the time - most likely under appreciated - and you can hear the beginning of the "classic" Sleep sound coming into being (maybe just a bit less Sabbath worship). Either way, it's fuckin' beautiful…

FLIPPER.

One of San Francisco's greatest musical entities WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Many have tried to conjure the raucous aural ugliness that is Flipper, but there can be only one king, duh!

Here's a wonderful set w/ great sound from a time when they were at their most ferocious; the din they create is sheer beauty, the banter is caustic, and did I mention they were tight as fuck on this night? Yeah...

Flipper - 06.28.1981 The Keystone, Berkeley, CA (KALX Benefit)

(Because I am not a dick I will share with y'alls what I consider to possibly be my favorite Flipper recording.
Leave a comment will ya?
The dialogue around here has dwindled down to nearly nothing lately. Fuckin' leeches man, I tell ya)...
