the Residents - Equals E (Cube E Box Set) 

This is hands down the best combination of music, art, poetry, dance, theater. I just can't take my eyes off it. They are truly captivating.

I saw this in Athens, first time the Residents performed in Greece. Twice in fact, first in spring 1990 and second in the autumn of the same year, as they came for a second time at the end of their european tour. What a breathtaking show that was !

brainphreak, you are doing all of youtube a huge service by making these videos availible, thank you so much!

Super, Spectacular, Magnificent, Tremendous, Excellent, Astounding, Amazing, Brilliant, Awe- inspiring, Visually Titillating, and Absolutely Fantastic ! There are not enough words to praise these guys and what they do ! LOVE them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the first of their shows that I attended, in Amsterdam. Many more followed. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much, you're making huge deeds for the culture by uploading these, so happy! :)

sort of blows the idea of "the cover" out of the water and over the side of the stage into the back alley in a snowstorm.

Genius.

I saw this show in Los Angeles back in the day. Not the best show they've done but it was not bad either! I would give it a 8 out of 10.

Amazing!

Whimsical

Papa Eméritus?

My dad LOVED these guys. He had a huge box in our living room marked “RESIDENTS” that had everything he owned. Which was basically every album at the time on vinyl and CD, The Commercial DVD, the Eskimo DVD, and the Cube E box set. I watched the Germany performance or a Futurama DVD to fall asleep every night. Something about that performance calmed me down. I loved these guys and they hold so many memories for me.

I adore how all of this looks and feels, their get-up and the effects of it with the lights and the hypnotising movements all make a very unique experience

Masters of the Absurd Natural Born Killers of Normality Stone Cold Geniusses!

God. Imagine being alive to see this. Incredible.

Can't get enough of it - the only thing I regret is the fact that I did not see it twice. There was a second Cube E show in my town and I thought "OK, seen it". Wrong, so wrong!

i saw the show live in chicago -- probably the greatest show I've ever seen

What an amazing show. Genius concept and performance. Very psychedelic. I hate to use that word to describe this but it truly is like entering an altered state.

Magnificent!-Bought Cube E in the local record store on cassette when it came out and still have it-wonderful upload-cheers!

I saw this show in Madison, WI in 1990. What a trip - and what a blast to see it again. I agree with other comments, the live experience it much more colorful and amazing.

I did some research and these guys are credited as the first band to use costumes. I see people arguing whether Slipknot or Mushroom head did it first. Some people even say the band GWAR were the first. No....these guys were the first (1969)

Such a rare cryptic beauty this band has. Everything they do is just so surreal and unique.

Saw the show at Saddler Wells Theatre, London. I concur - the best show I've ever seen. The video doesn't come close to the experience but thanks for uploading.

RIP Hardy Fox

I love how they dance so dorky (dorkily?), it makes the whole experience that much more wonderful.

...love to the residents...it is just fuckin great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Greetings from Berlin(Germany)!

the residents make me feel human

Love the video/sound quality. Ive still got this episode of Night Music with "From the Plains to Mexico" and "teddy Bear" on VHS.. was awesome seeing them share the stage with the late-great Conway Twitty. And to see them on the same episode with Sun-Ra.. Night Music was such a great show.

its like hes telling you campfire stories

RIP :( at less we still have three of four, but soon we will lost one of the best musicians in history.

I Listen to the records from the scratch, my preferred albums are "Commercial Album" and "Eskimo". Sometimes Residents are bored, but they still rest some genious men!

Wonder if Sam herring of future islands has heard of these

Night Music (aka Sunday Night), was at the time, the best music show on TV, period. With The Residents performance , David Sanborn helped to turn followers like me, into unconditional admirers of this unclassifiable band, something that helped to forge my music taste forever. Thankyou for sharing. Patiently waiting for The Residents reschedule north American tour in 2021. Cheers.

From the side looks like they're wearing tacos on their head!

I've loved these guys since my undergrad days back in the late 70s. All my friends dug them too.

I saw them 4-5 times on this tour. My favorite version was the early shows they did at Lincoln Center in July of 89 before they added the baby king portion. It was actually The History of American Music in 2 EZ Pieces though they didn't promote it like that. Thanks for posting this long version of this clip.

From The Plains To Mexico Teddy Bear (Night Music) Buckaroo Blues (Tele 5) Rehearsal Cowell Theater Rehearsal For Lincoln Center 20 Twisted Questions Clips Interview With Hardy Fox (1989)

BUY OR DIE ❄️😶❄️❣️😈❣️

Are those real trout masks?

Some parts look like an act of "The Muppet Show" gone wrong, especially with the Buckaroo Blues and The Baby King segments.

This video connected me with another CDrom artist from 26 years ago for a review and full-emu into the internet archive - thanks to you.

Geniales 🎼

Saw the first two parts at Lincoln Center pre Baby King material. I remember getting that CD and freaking out my roommates in college.

if my boyfriend licked this he wood say Caucasian get to the equater

true greatness

The processional at 39 minutes is right out of Third Reich N Roll.

Sooo jealous. They never seem to come to the UK anymore. I MUST see this band before I (or they) die. They have fascinated me since 1977. Thanks for the post.

So original i can't stop listening to these guys.

Probably some the most compeling preformances by these Jean~Yus'IZzz!!!!

I was thier too all 3 night's then NYE! It got even better after they toured!

I can't explain why I like this, but I really, really, really do.

set the night on fire by the doors, i think???

Actual footage of my sleep paralysis demons.

Самое важное - на 34:20 😍

Wow. Night Music was a pretty great show, I had just seen this live a few weeks earlier (still the best show I've ever seen) so I was more effected by the WTF of seeing the Residents on network TV than the performance itself but it's so great to see it again.

i didn't even know this band even igsisted, you know what i mean. until about 15 mins ago i love the sound and the vocals are amazing. GREAT band!!!!! The RESIDENts FUCking RocK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT IS HE WEARING
