Galaxie 500 - The Middle East Upstairs, Cambridge, Massachusetts, May 16, 1990

A very pleasant surprise from the Galaxie 500 vaults — a lost video of a pretty unique, drum-less semi-unplugged show during the spring of 1990. Wobbly early camcorder visuals, sure, but it hits that oddly nostalgic sweet spot just right (and the sound is quite good, all things considered).

Damon, Naomi and Dean had just released their unbeatable On Fire the previous fall, but in the cozy environs of the Middle East Upstairs (where they had played some of their very first gigs), they workshopped a bunch of new material destined for their This Is Our Music swan song. A lot of the arrangements seem to be generally in place, though some of the lyrics — especially on "Way Up High" — have yet to be finalized. There are also some typically terrific covers, including Naomi taking the lead on a dreamy rendition of Young Marble Giants' "Final Day" and an inspired take on Red Crayola's "Victory Garden." Come ride the fiery breeze of GALAXIE 500!

Damon Says: The tape is a time capsule of the late 80s/early 90s scene at the Middle East: the attitudes in the crowd (and on stage!), the banter, the smoking, the cookies…

Thanks to the late Tucker Stilley for filming all those years ago, Mimi Lipson for unearthing it all these years later and G-500 for generously sharing. And hey, Damon and Naomi are kicking off a short tour in a couple weeks ... in Iceland! Go see 'em.

Isn't it a pity?

Isn't it a shame?

How we break each other's hearts

And cause each other pain
