03/23/83 - NYC, NY @ The Bowery

SET LIST NOTES
improvisation
  • This may be the show Thurston refers to in a recent guitar mag interview: "In ’82 or something, we were asked to play at this performance art space in New York and we decided to do a guitar feedback performance. We stood there, turned the amps up and fed back for 10 minutes. It really polarised people... but I think the first time we used feedback as a compositional element, where we had control over it, was on Bad Moon Rising. I love it. It’s just the relationship between you, the guitar and the amplifier."
  • This was actually a two-night event, performing improvised feedback with their backs to the audience while Amanda Linn danced around them.
