Shortly after I recorded this one, I posted a couple songs to YT, but never the full show. I finally got off my ass and fixed up the whole thing.
I threw on some ridiculous filters on this one, you may or may not like it. Those first two videos are still up on YT if you want to see what it looked like with normal editing.
Tracklist and more details on the YT page.
I remastered the audio so now it sounds amazing, and put some crazy filters on the video so now it looks all trippy. Notes and tracklist on the YT page.
So now that both HearThis.at and Mixcloud are charging for additional uploads, I’ve decided to take everything over to Archive.org.
All of the shows that I have posted to HearThis and Mixcloud are still posted there and still available to all. But, I won’t be uploading any new recordings to either of those websites.
I have safety copies of all the shows that I have uploaded over the years, so I am now posting them all as 320mbps mp3s to Archive.org. I don’t have any new recordings to post there yet, but when I do, they’ll go there and nowhere else.
I have uploaded only about 30 shows so far, randomly selected. But I’ll add more every day, until I get all ~175 shows posted.

Skinny Puppy live on the Last Rights tour, San Francisco, 1992. Back when they were at the height of their darkest, most nightmarish noisescape industrial style. And of course, back when Dwayne was still alive. RIP Dwayne.
Board tape (stereo! no distortion!) landed in my lap recently. So it sounded pretty great in the first place, but as with everything, it needed some substantial work.
For major reconstructions like this, I’ll go so far as to reverse engineer some group multi-track stems (drums, bass, vocals, synths) to give me more control over everything. Definitely the right choice with this one, as the final mix sounds mind-blowing. Especially after I added in crowd sounds.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the complete show. They opened with Addiction and Love in Vein. Addiction didn’t make it onto the original recording at all, and only the last past of Love in Vein did.
Also, Dirty Tricks was actually the first song of the encore, following Left Handshake. The song they played after Dirty Tricks, Testure, for some reason fades out right in the middle of it in the original recording, so I wasn’t able to use that one, either.
Luckily, I was able to save Dirty Tricks by making it the show intro into The Choke.
All love and respect to cEvin, Nivek, and everybody else involved with the band.

Hitori Tori gave us two live performances on the internet, one at the end of 2020, one at the end of 2021.
0:00-1:07:30 is from December 2020, called Suck Puck Breakcorona Xmas Stream, obviously for our good friends at Suck Puck Records.
The last 30 minutes is from December 2021, originally called Live for PRSPCT Records, in collaboration with Murder Channel. I suppose I didn't really have to tack on this one on to the other, but I figured why not.
There's at least one, maybe two songs that are repeated between the two shows. I hope that won't offend you too much.
Both of these are still available on YT last I checked, if you want to see him thrash these songs out live.
I post all my audio recordings to HearThis.at and Mixcloud. I always preferred HearThis, because it looks a whole lot better, and occasionally, Mixcloud would block certain recordings in the US. HearThis has never blocked any of my uploads.
But now, HearThis has told me that if I want to upload any more audio there, I’ll have to pay to upgrade to some higher tier account.
So you know what that means? Abscheid, sayonara, see you later, HearThis.
Obviously, I’ll still leave up what’s already there, but I won’t post any more there. All new posts will go only on Mixcloud.
Speaking of which, I just posted a Hitori Tori show. I’ll write up a post for that one shortly.

Ruby My Dear live on rinse.fr, 1 June 2021.
Everything's on the internet these days. I am confident that concerts will happen again someday. Maybe not this year. Hopefully next year. Fingers crossed. Until then, I'll just keep scouring the internet for live performances to fix up and post.
This one went pretty much under the radar when it happened, so I post it here.
I bumped up the super extended sub-bass low end a touch. Fire up the subwoofers and see how you like it.

Not Breathing with special guest cEvin Key live at the El Rey, Los Angeles, 9 February 2011.
This was when NB opened for Meat Beat Manifesto. Special guest cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy sat in with NB. I couldn't tell you what parts he played or what synths he played, but he was out on stage, jammin' along for the entire performance.
I originally gave this recording to Dave, the main guy in NB, shortly after the concert, and he put it up on Bandcamp for a long time. But I see now that he must have taken it down at some point. But I contacted him and he gave me the OK to put it here on my concert recordings blog, so enjoy.

Merzbow live at FLUC, Vienna, 18 May 2010.
I posted this one a long time ago, but recently reworked/remixed it. So I deleted the old version and now we have this better version. This is the tour he did with superstar Hungarian drummer Balázs Pándi.
