Evol Tour Tape
 

does any one know what happened to the evol tour tape? is it dead?

fuck knows...id like to hear it...But if its not good quality it will probly lead to a headache.

oh is that the one called evol-ution?

cause i saw it for sale on the net a while ago and tried to order it but it said the link was dead or somthing

wait...what is this evol tour tape?

do you mean the videorecording of them on tour for evol. i saw five minutes of that, once. they roll into texas and lee starts talking about robert rauschenberg. and why not?

Were can one find this videorecording? And what else is on it?

i think lee does some cocaine somewhere

I remember some talk of the evol tour movie being released a while ago. Maybe it will be on the pre-geffen videos dvd if that ever comes out.

I'm talking about the about one mentioned in the sonicyouth.com news a few years ago. Here are some quotes from the archived news from 2002:

SONIC YOUTH SEEKS HELP FINDING EVOL TOUR TAPES As work progresses on the EVOL tour film, it has become apparent that there is no known audio documentation of many of the gigs other than the mic on the VHS camera the movie was shot on. That little mic got pounded. It sounds pretty darn cool, but it has been making people wonder what other tapes exist of these gigs, perhaps to replace some of the camera sound.
Tapes are being sought of the following gigs:
6/27/86 Houston - Café Mode
7/05/86 Huntington Beach - Safari Sam's
7/06/86 Portland OR - Pine street theatre
7/12/86 Denver - Duetscher Hang
7/14/86 Kansas City KS - Parody Hall
7/15/86 Minneaplois - First Ave.
7/19/86 Indianapolis - Hoosier Ballroom
7/20/86 Columbus - Stache's
7/21/86 Cleveland - Peabody's
7/23/86 Rochester - Idols
If anyone has tapes of these shows, please contact studio@sonicyouth.com. Needless to say, the earliest generation you can hunt down is the best, it would be amazing to get original cassettes or reels!
Thanks everybody.

which seems to imply some sort of extensive band-edited/supervised tour tape, shot during perhaps SYs best period, with better audio than, say, the "blood on the beach" video.
