Dr. Phibes And The House Of Wax Equations - Live Glastonbury '93



Been meaning to re-upload this for sometime, was available through Last FM page but link has expired . Anyway here is Dr. Phibes' performance from Glastonbury '93 where they had a large "Dr. Phibes" balloon hovering over the festival for the duration of most of the festival (Im sure there is a story about it losing it's mooring and causing chaos at higher altitudes above the site to a plane or hopefully a police helicopter).I did go that year but got sort of distracted and missed them , as you do or did at Glastonbury , but managed to pick up a C90 of the set the next day . Audience recording but still very much worth a listen . Apologies in advance as I'm not 100% on the correct track-listing and also for the piss poor knocked out "cover" ,novice at photoshop/image type software, feel free to make a better one and send it to me.Check out wiki and first post for more on the "should of been massive" and seriously under appreciated Dr. Phibes & The House Of Wax Equations. Glasto '93 here.

Thanks to Keith for these links to some quality French broadcast recordings .

  3. You are absolute gentlemen and stars...

    I've been looking for that Glasto performance for 10 years, used to have it on cassette. As for the France Inter radio 'Black Session', I only just found out it ever existed.

    Thanks guys... In gratitude, I can up some mp3's of Dr Phibes' '2000 Light Years From Home' and 'L.A. Woman' covers if interesred?
