The Residents
The Mole Show Live At The Roxy, 1982
Review by Gary Hill
This, as you can probably gather, is a live album from 1982. The Residents are captured in all their weirdness and in fine form. Penn Jillette (yes, that Penn Jillette) serves as sort of a narrator between songs, or at least that's what you are supposed to believe. In fact, there is more to it. He gets more obnoxious as the concert goes on, eventually completely losing it, but that's all part of the show. It should be noted that I've reviewed this here as a retro review, but also as part of a new box set. I strongly recommend getting it that way.
