Skinny Puppy 6/26/1992 Dallas


Tried to write this several times but, bottom line: either I don't get S.P. or they're not any good...I used a sound effect off of The Process once...but the other recordings, nothing I've heard did anything for me and this live show video didn't change my opinion of the group.








This youtube post is a fair representation of the quality of the files I found in the torrent, and will perhaps allow you to conclude with me that it doesn't make for very interesting viewing. Its youtube uploader has also put up some skinny puppy material that is a little more engaging: some of the backing videos that the group edited together for rear projection at their performances. There are some very visceral sequences that occasionally crop up throughout the montage, and it's a damn shame that it's all so terribly fucked up by compression artifacts. It's all of a sort of material that prompted me to collect video in the first place; once you do violence to images themselves it sometimes reminds you that not all control of them is official and has to be outside of your hands...

===================== The stage show of Last Rights tour (North America, 1992) was built around a detailed narrative that involved Ogre interacting with a backing film, a "virtual reality" machine, a bleeding crucifix, and a large, rotating device called "The Tree of No Cares" from which dangled severed heads and pornographic magazines
