The Electric Prunes:Rewired

this is a very generous helping of the subject, The Electric Prunes as we are invited along with them on their 2002 tour of the U.K. Along with a complete show filmed in Brighton, England the disc also offers 3 special features: 1.Bass player Mark Tulin talks about and describes each song that they perform during their concert 2.a making-of for their recently recorded cd "Artifact"(featuring a lengthy wig-out with guest guitarist Peter Lewis) and 3. my favorite part of the disc, a tour overview with filmed snapshots of all the stops on their tour-Canterbury, Manchester, Bristol, Southhampton, London and a swoop down to Athens. The full concert is great showcasing all of their classic songs with a few newer ones mixed in. I'd like to make a special mention of their drummer Joe Dooley who we learn was also their 1968 tour drummer as well. I loved listening to his playing throughout this show and I hope you wouldn't be too distracted by all the glowing psychedlic lights and patterns splattering over the band during the concert to the point of missing Joe's excellent chops.                                       6/6/08
