I received a request for more live stuff, warts and all. With that in mind I found this live recording from 1993. It was recorded at Rockefellers West in Houston on October 27th. The band is the same group that recorded ¡Viva! in California the following year. Straight off the board.
What’s better than sitting down for morning coffee and enjoying a new downloadable song from the Friends page? Downloading 17 minutes of live goodness. I think I’ll listen to Borrasca and ¡Viva! today.
Regretably, I never caught a live performance at Rockefellers but a few years back, I did get a chance to tour the locale with a friend while she was making plans for a private party. Now, in my mind I can go back there while listening to this beautiful piece of music. Mil gracias Ottmar.
Viva and the Opium Tour DVD helped me through a lot of years of not being able to see you live in concert. Both magic. The DVD could have been 2-3 songs longer :) but your talking gave a whole new insight back then. Viva feels so hot and intense, like a summer night. Wonderful to hear some more recording from that time!
P.S. Always liked the artwork of the Viva CD as well.
Thank you Ottmar!
This is a delightful way to start the day!

I’m back in my late 20s again.
