Latest offering from The Tubes Project, an ongoing archiving process in preparation for the eventual release of a documentary outlining the musical history of The Tubes.
Recorded at the Record Plant, w/Bill Spooner on lead vocals. This video opens with rare instrumental featured in the Tubes live set at the time. Originally part of The Beans space opera, “Acension of the Motherload.” Appeared on the Tubes first album produced by Al Kooper.
“Tube” Mural/Shirts and “Space Baby” costume by Michael Cotten and Prairie Prince.
Yes! Urbangraffito keeps comin’up with the Tubes goods. Can’t wait for the Tubes movie to be finished…
Wowww!!! Good!
As a Tubes Neophite, I have to say: splendid — in a “70s prog rock doesn’t necessarily suck” kind of way! 🙂
Yeah, I luv The Tubes… I discovered them through Nina Hagen who covered “white punks on dope” in 1978… watch “TV Glotzer”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwPMtoPjH8E&feature=related

Listen to Todd Rundgren’s Utopia (circa mid ’70s) for some more cool American prog rock.

Has Nina Hagen ever sung on stage as a guest with the Tubes?
Apparently yes: http://www.pbase.com/hhf/tubes
I only found pics of a Tubes show featuring N.H.
but no audio yet…

She brought out ‘TV Glotzer’ and then in ’79 the Tubes released an album about a TV addict called ‘Remote Control’! I’m guessing from the pics she’s singing ‘TV Glotzer’ while Fee is singing ‘White Punks On Dope’ seeing as it’s the same tune.
Got any other new clips for us, Urbangraffitto?
