It's wild that the residents are still playing live. They hold a special place in my heart.

Absolutely astonishing! It took The Residents 3 years to record Eskimo. Today with modern technology they can play it live.

THAT! was a fun night. I got to be one of the opening acts. I first saw them in 1985 and they still got that spark of beautiful weirdness!

He's got those moves like Jagger!

I absolutely am FLOORED!

Imagine going to the library that day only for the Residents to be playing there Bonus points if you had no context whatsoever

Wow! Would have loved to see that.

de tantas decadas si son bastantes longevos sobretodo que volvieron a tocar su disco mas importante de su carrera

Absolutely sensational. I would have never expected a live version.

More reasons to support our cities libraries. We are indeed fortunate.

So good it hurts. I wish they would tour with this show.

God damn this fucking rules, they're on fire!

Briliant! Thanks for sharing!

The Residents should do a Eskimo/ Mole tour. 25 minutes of Eskimo and 25 minutes of the Mark Of The Mole.

That's amazing

Very cool! Thank you for posting 🙂

Wonderful dancing!

The curious onlookers were into it, until the vocals started.

You saw both original Residents then because Hardy Fox was alive and well and still touring with the band. But apart from him and Homer, I doubt that the rest were the original members of the Meet the Residents combo. Many come and go in the Residents and we cannot know who is behind a mask on stage, except for the guitarist since the late 90s who is the known Resident and whose guitar style is as unmistakable as Homer's voice and stage act.

I think the music is mostly programmed. The "singing Resident" voice must be real live though. If they had the guitarist playing in this, he 'd play live too. I think that they began doing these partly programmed, partly live performances in the early 90s.

I thought the guy from the Residents had died. So they're continuing without him? Or is this like a cover band sort of situation?

There's other members. Homer Flynn is probably the only one still in the band

Yes, Hardy Fox a founding member of the combo and who had composed a good half of their material, as he himself revealed upon his departure as a touring member due to health issues in 2016, died in 2018 but the "singing Resident" who there is no reasonable doubt that is their "spokesman" Homer Flynn, is here alive and kicking. All those years many members came and went, with only him and the sadly departed H. Fox being in the band from the begining. The Residents were and are destined to remain an at least half-hidden mystery, unless Homer who is now the sole leader and probably has all the rights and owns the name of the band, decides to call it the day and reveals everything about the past.

Ninguno es miembro original, es una cover band. Igual me gusta,
