Shaw Tapes: Live in Detroit 5/27/88
Price 31.59 USD
Recorded at a party in a Detroit storefront in 1988, this live recording of the Gories captures the band at their apex. The dual-guitar attack of Dan Kroha"s smooth Fender Jaguar and Mick Collins screechy Kent Videocaster, coupled with the snare-less, cymbal-less, bass drum-less primitive drumming of Peggy O"Neill forms a perfect meld of 40"s blues, 50"s R&B, 60"s garage and 70"s punk. Dare we say it, but in terms of influence and reach, the Gories were the Velvet Underground of their day.
