This is from summer 1989. They recorded a segment for MTV Europe's 120 Minutes prior to their appearance at the Reading Festival. The song is sometimes listed as Nigerian Elvis but is actually a karaoke version of Alemayehu Eshete's "Feqer Feqer New". They also recorded an acoustic version of Revolution II that was a very rough sketch of the song. There's another clip from the BBC aired in 1989, SNUB-TV (episode 3). It features the band in their Texas studio (late 1988?) playing what sounds like Jack Officers material. Then there is a live segment of Jimi from February 1988 at the Mean Fiddler in London.
1987 for sure. I was in high school, we laughed our asses of when we watched this; simply hilarious. They also played a version of Revolution Pt 2. with the same instruments. The host was Marcel Van Tilt.
Fucked up. Everything up to and including Hairway to Steven is essential if you’re a freak. They lost the plot after that, although I do appreciate Pioughd.
@@ensenada5757 Hey you replied! I felt like a fool for commenting on a two year old comment. For sure, early Surfers are majestic. There was just nothing else like them. Crazy that they were doing all that they were during the time of SST records and all the other great American underground music . A magical time....

@@undrwrldsk8fred.maybe Gibby was just having an older face day.
This has become the only Butthole Surfers "song" I've really listened to and it probably will remain that way.
You gotta try Julio Iglesias
@@24Korova yeah this comment is now untrue

@MrKGHunter this has of course changed. Love the self titled and PCPEP the most over my exploration.
