Revelation, a Rock Opera by Mike Doughty

From the YouTube page:

“Studio 360 challenges listeners to make Creative Resolutions each year, and at the beginning of 2014, Mike Doughty called into the show and told host Kurt Andersen that he wanted to make a musical based on the biblical book. “It is an absolutely terrifying, psychedelic tale of destruction, and the language is so beautiful,” Doughty told Kurt Andersen. “I thought, with the right music and the right visuals, it would be a great show.” Studio 360 held Mike to his promise, and the result is Revelation.”

Soul Coughing (1996 Houston)

As I’ve mentioned before, one of the things I like doing here at Ye Olde Music Blogge is to post concerts that I first came across when I used to do a lot of tape trading. Yes, through the mail. People would make copies of concerts and trade them and mail them across the world. It was glorious and probably still goes on. I never had many Soul Coughing shows but I did have a cassette copy of this 11.01.97 show from the Urban Art Bar in Houston, TX.

I just realized the other day that there is also video for the show. So, I says to myself: “Self: why not go ahead and post that video for the fine folks who happen by Ye Olde Music Blogge?” And, well, danged if you didn’t know; that’s exactly what I did.

Enjoy.
