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.

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.

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

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 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

God. Imagine being alive to see this. Incredible.

I did. I was. Late 80's in Hamburg. It was very good: incredible, indeed. One of the cultural highlights of my life, right next to seeing/hearing Laibach play their live score to Macbeth in the Schauspielhaus, ebenda. It's good to [have]be[en] alive - then, and still! : )

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

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

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.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Saw this in Television before long years, have this recorded on Tape.

1989 in pallas Greece one of the best show,probably i've seen,GOD BLESS THE RESIDENTS

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!

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

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.

Saw them also at Lincoln Center I was doing a summer session at college. Also great name buddy.

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

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)

fantastic concert

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 !

true greatness

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

Genius.

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.

I think I have a new favorite band! I've listened to their music for year but didn't realize that the live show was 3/4 of the experience... Amazing art! wow!

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

The Residents, gracias por existir

its like hes telling you campfire stories

AMAZING

awesome xnow by a french fan before 1990

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

This is so excellent

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

Wonderful.

Thank you... just... Thank you!

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.

love em tu bits

Awsome!

These are how my dreams look like

great!

Oh HECK yes...thank you!

jeez wish i'd been alive to see this tour

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.

Thx dear my friend @brainphreaky for posting and a very special thx to @MrWzzzW!

The costume is a suit create with phosphorescent material, specially made to react with blacklight, also known as UV-A light. All the costumes, of the musicians and dancers, are made in the same way, so that they can react with the blacklight that is the only illumination of the stage. It's a pity that there are no videos of the performance of the song Love me Tender in the same show, with the two dancers with a "spectacular" costume - phosphorescent breasts and a brick wall over their heads... This is the kind of show that you see once and never forget.
