The Tubes Live at New York City’s Palladium on August 4h 1981.
With their 1982 album The Complete Backward Principle, the Tubes finally brought their brand of San Franciscan satirical rock into the mainstream, with both the LP and the single “Don’t Want to Wait Anymore” denting the Top Forty. “Don’t Want to Wait Anymore” and half a dozen other songs from the album were performed on this KBFH-FM broadcast of a show at New York City’s Palladium on August 4, 1981. Also featured are versions of their crowd-pleasers “Mondo Bondage” and “White Punks on Dope.”
