Originally a cassette-only release, this live recording of Suicide (taken from a 1981 tenth anniversary show at Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis) demonstrates what a powerhouse of a band two men, a microphone and one cheesy keyboard could be. Singer Alan Vega sometimes whispers his way through classics such as "Sweet White Lady" and the title track, and sometimes wails like a lost soul wandering parched in a post-apocalyptic city, while Martin Rev's white-noise drone thunders like a cross between an air raid siren and a Farfisa organ. There's also a great cover of ? and the Mysterians' "96 Tears," that almost makes the original sound tepid. A lost classic, not for the timid.
Reissued on CD by the French Danceteria label in 1990.
