Keeping on the fIREHOSE kick, it’s the incredibly rare Peel Session.

The Peel website doesn’t even list that this happened, despite the fact that the Peel intros and outros confirm it was a Peel show, and not just a Radio One broadcast. The best info that I can ascertain is that it took place on the UK tour from June of 1988. On June 8th, they played the Venue in Edinburgh, Scotland, so it would be around that time period.

The performances are really interesting, with overdubs and some other studio gimmickry not generally associated with fIREHOSE. Check out the disco version of “Making the Freeway!”...

The inclusion of “She Paints Pictures” really makes this a great one, and with a lil azimuth correction, the sound really is very good. I seemed to recall this not being that good in the sound quality department, but I was wrong. A solid B+\A-.

Fer those of ya who may be familiar with my posts, I do not post unknown gens very often. This one is pretty special. 

Enjoy.
