in celebration of new BOREDOMS/ YOSHIMIO cds: BOREDOMS live 2004


the boredoms, an eternal force of nature with each new activity are quite porely documented. I am quite angry at the avant-gardes resistance to good documentation of their activities. I only wish I had been more aggressive about documentation when in the early 2000's the boredoms had a secondary group called 7vo7. In actuality, it was the boredoms with a different name but the same intensity. Fantastic music. To make up for this error, I later documented all of the concerts I went to as much as I could. Hence this gem. Done at the new liquid room in EBISU, TOKYO and starting with AEO and then moving on to the boredoms. It's a perfect companion to their DVD sunflandisco. For those familiar with this era of performance, pay special attention to the end, when they jam! the boredoms sometimes DO do encores of slightly different music so catch that. Be aware that the SUPERROOTS 9 live CD is in fact: INCOMPLETE as the boredoms went back on stage for a little more jamming and then segued into EYE doing a dj set. I was probably one of the few non-japanese in the audience. For note, that event was a huge venue on christmas especially rented by the boredoms. there was another room for a different DJ and it was not a concert but really an EVENT.  I do believe though that attendance was not high enough and they may have lost money. They haven't done such a ONLY boredoms concert since in tokyo. Since then venues such as the liquid room or festivals have been prefered. I do hope they do this again though. Please enjoy this classic. --check the comments. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
