The Boudisque 20th Anniversary Party

From RZWiki

The Boudisque 20th Anniversary Party was an event held to celebrate the anniversary of Boudisque Records in Amsterdam, Holland, on November 26th 1988.[note 1]

The event is notable for a special performance by The Residents, who debuted their Buckaroo Blues suite (later to be featured as the first part of their touring performance Cube-E in 1989).

History

Boudisque was a record store associated with The Residents European record label Torso. This event, on November 26th 1988, featured a special one-off performance by The Residents, who debuted their new suite ]Buckaroo Blues. This suite would later become the first part of the group's stage show Cube-E in 1989, and a studio recording would be released on CD by UWEB in the same year.

The group would again perform the suite a few months later on March 15th 1989, along with "Jambalaya" and "Burning Love", on the German television program Off Beat Night.[note 1]

Release

Excerpts from the performance can be seen in The Eyes Scream documentary video.

An excerpt released on a Torso employee exclusive VHS features The Residents performing a shortened arrangement of "Swastikas On Parade", as later heard on the Buckaroo Blues CD.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 Conflicting dates have been reported for The Boudisque 20th Anniversary Party and the Off Beat Night TV performance which followed. Some sources (such as the 2006 Cube-E box set) state that the Boudisque show was in November 1987 and that Off Beat Night followed in March 1988, however, a September 1988 UWEB newsletter gives the date of the Boudisque show as November 1988. This is likely the correct date, suggesting that Off Beat Night was filmed in March 1989.
