Steelpole Bathtub- Bogart's, Long Beach Ca. 4/19/90 xfer from 1st gen VHS LIVE Steel Pole Bath Tub

Here's another video from the old "going through lists and figuring out what's uncirculated" project. . This is the last one that I have from the Rob Thompson recordings. Thanks to Jim Utz for sending his VHS tapes years ago to be digitized. Just like Babes in Toyland, I don't know why this is so short. Did Rob get busted for filming? Dead battery? Did he just get tired? Dunno.
Recorded by: Ron Thompson
Transfer by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: JVC HRS9811U and Canopus ADVC300

Seeing them during this era must've been so crazy. I'm surprised people were able to comprehend reality after seeing something like this. Truly mind blowing sonic overload. Thank you for uploading this!

saw these guys open for the flaming lips the year before this; great version of 'lime-away' ; so overlooked but were so very unique they deserved better treatment when they left boner records after 1990's tulip , we were the lucky ones - the gigs between butterfly love & tulip were their heydays in my humble opinion- thanx so much for this clip !

I saw them on that tour with the flaming lips, and they were incredible!! i would love to find a video of that tour playing the songs off butterfly love. the lips played seated in chairs, bathtub were quite the opposite - in the air most of the time!

I was never lucky enough to catch them. I would have loved to see them on this tour especially.
