Toronto 1989

Incomplete show from Toronto again on the 'Imaginos' tour from 1989. No cover artwork yet again so here's a quick shot of Cliff house used for the 'Imaginos' album with the details on it.
This is a soundboard show with wicked quality but as it's not complete is one of those frustrating ones.
It's a soundboard but a line-feed one which means there's no next to no Bass on this at all,although having Buck's guitar SO loud is amazing to hear and YES he is ON FIRE throughout.
The Grateful Dead were playing Toronto the same night so the turn out seems to be poor. Eric even mentions it himself just before ETI.
A good show for sure and also one that has been videoed as well.
I'm attaching the intro and first couple of tracks of the show from youtube below for your listening and viewing pleasure.
Starting with my fave track of the tour the ultra heavy 'Dominance and Submission'. It's interesting to see Eric with no beard,a stripped down club and how Buck makes 'THAT' guitar (with the horrible design) Shred is well..beyond me.
Enjoy.

  Dominance and Submission  

Toads Place, New Haven 1989

The 'Imaginos' tour continued through into 1989 and thankfully there are a couple of really good shows out there in particular and this is one I have from that year.
Firstly this is one from 'Toads Place,New Haven'. This is a radio broadcast and although the sound quality is Raw,Heavy and very loud, you can notice a touch of distortion on the bass at times which can be annoying to the sound perfectionist.
Nevertheless this show has some fantastic moments.
'Domnance and Submission' is so heavy and definately this tour really changed this song and made it so much heavier from here on in.
Also closing track 'The Red and the Black' is frantic and exceptionally heavy.

This is great show with a good track listing from this tour.

Highly recommended.
