Eugene Chadbourne live at The Orange Show - May 6, 2023

The Orange Show celebrates eccentric visionaries and few fit the description better than the North Carolina-based guitarist, banjoist, singer, and composer Eugene Chadbourne.
Since the late 1970s, he’s been the creative music world’s clown prince, skewering the powerful with satirical lyrics and prodding sacred cows of technique and taste with a delirious mashup of jazz, folk, country, unlikely covers, and fleet-fingered improvisation. His extensive and convoluted discography includes hundreds of self-released, small-batch recordings hand-packaged in uniquely collaged jackets made from found and repurposed materials.
In recent years he’s developed a profile as an accomplished self-trained visual artist and several of his works will be on view in the Orange Show Study Center in the weeks following his performance.

For those who dont watch it all - at least skip to six minutes'ish before the end. Best cover-song ever.

This has the feel of a post-apocalypse Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii.
