EYE ON : LIVE USA TOUR 1989
Right after VIDNA OBMANA‘s noise excursion, he did his first West US tour. Partially set up by das/Ubuibi of BIG CITY ORCHESTRA, VIDNA OBMANA played four concerts in the Bay Area. While initially this was a solo tour, it quickly turned out to be one with numerous guest musicians, cumulating in a larger band at Cafe Chameleon in the famous surfing costal town Santa Cruz. This is also where VIDNA met PBK in person. After a flawed duo concert at 455 10th St in San Francisco (due to technical issues), VIDNA OBMANA joined PBK for a week of friendship and jamming at the PBK studio in San Bernardino (California). This is where VIDNA OBMANA laid down the foundation for his classic GATHERING IN FROZEN BEAUTY. After an inspiring stay at PBK’s place, he flew to Tucson (Arizona) where he played a solo set on KXCI’s fantastic radioshow The Pain Bank.
For a short period, you can enjoy this lo-fi recordings of that tour at ‘name your price’.
