Flying Saucer Tour Vol. 1 Pittsburgh, Pa 6/20/91

Posthumous release of performance by the master. Most routines are familiar (seeing as he’s dead and cant come up with anything new…) but there’s an urgency, a psychotic-ness about this. Maybe “urgency” isn’t correct, more like there’s a apathetic sarcastic desperation (even for hicks !!) here where you can really feel his misery. Lots of ripping on the audience, preaching, his bad attitude doesn’t sound staged here. For true connoisseurs of Hicks.
