description
from the sonic kitchen of love archives - probably the craziest show I've ever attended was the 1989 smoke-in at the lincoln memorial in washington dc - 10s of thousands of people tripping and stoned out of their minds to see the butthole surfers , while helicopters circled overhead , smoke bombs went off , the p.a. was shut down , and finally the police chased away the crowd on horseback. this tape was recorded on a boom-box hanging from the soundboard tower and you can hear the soundman arguing with the police "I said turn it down!""but the p.a. is OFF , that's all stage volume" etc.... lots of crowd noise , this tape sounds about as crazy as the night actually was.... i'd love to hear what other people who were there recollect from this memorable evening....
