In celebration, here are some more live, previously unknown tracks from the Butthole Surfers.
So, I was contacted by the Butthole Surfer's archivist and he wants a rip of the Columbus soundboard tape of which I posted a few tracks several weeks ago. He actually contacted me on the 20th anniversary of this show and didn't realize it until I pointed it out. We'll trade for a mix CD-R he is putting together from what I assume is a vast collection.
He sent me his 50 page listing of all the known shows available on tape. supposedly this is one of the few shows on tape that has Kramer playing bass (and trombone).
Here are some more tracks from that tape including a song which has Kramer on trombone.
If you know what the name of the song is, drop a line in the comments. I've asked the archivist if he knows and if I get an answer, I'll correct the track and repost.

the butthole surfers - i also like them. the music is madly, crazy and friendly.. they often make me gonna smirk. for example the >guess who<-cover "american woman" - irre schönes stück (i´m listen to it right now)
and also the project "p" with johnny depp is a very special and great album..
thank you for posting all that great stuff here -)
You should post the complete shows to Archive.org. There are already 8 other Surfers shows there.

the mystery track is "whirling hall of knives" (as found on rembrandt pussy horse). it's kind of hard to tell since you can't really hear the guitar, but you do hear lots of lots of trombone (?!). thanks for posting these.
Gibby was one of the more entertaining aspects of The Flaming Lips doc, The Fearless Freaks.
2 right about the kkk asshole, a happy ending for once,,he should have been strung up with a swarm of bees down his pants and made to listen to cliff richard ....one of the times capital punishment dont sound too bad...love the blog by the way
tee! re: bees and cliff richard, although I'd add in lots of hardcore rap, I'm sure he detests that music. Escape: I must check out that doc - it's in my netflix queue and getting bumped up even as we speak. If you can check out the blind eyes sees all tape/DVD for more gibby madness. The DVD has a karoake option in case you want to have a good party game (also on Netflix, by the way).
Leonard The (that's how the Chinese would say your name - are you related to Bill Cosby?) - thanks I thought it was "whirling" but I haven't listened to that LP for so long & it does sound a bit different.
Ihtb: I'll consider the archives thing but I'm really busy just livin' life AND doin a blog or two. Maybe some snow day next winter. It's been sent to some guy who tells me he is the Butt's archivist.
Dane, I like the American Women cover - I have the original release of it which was a 5" plastic record that came with the Blind Eye Sees All video.

Yeah that was one long overdue jailing. Butthole surfers an excellent choice for celebration, Jim.
Hey, I had to take down the tracks to get more space on my server - if you want them, drop me a line and an eamil address to send 'em too since the BHs have said its okay to trade live tracks.
