This was my first LIVE residents show, (though I have most of their albums or tapes) and I found it to be undeniably deathrock.... you know that deeesco backbeat with a sinister twist of noize, doom, and gloom... well it seemed like half of the resident's performance was like that.... I'm used to the residents being silly, not sinister. With my luck, the next time I go see Captain Beefheart, he'll sound like the beach boys.... Overall, I'd give the resindolts 13th anniversary concert a "B" grade. I've seen better in residents videos. It felt like a "the residents sell out" concert. Any other opinions? Niels.
