Clutch premiere official live recording of a 1993 concert in Norfolk, Virginia

Author Flavia Andrade - 25.4.2023

Clutch have released one of their earliest recorded shows as part of the “PA Tapes” collection. The band’s April 25, 1993 show, which has its 30th anniversary today, took place at King’s Head Inn in Norfolk, VA, and now has newly been released digitally.

Clutch vocalist/guitarist Neil Fallon comments:

This is a recording of our set at the legendary King’s Head Inn in Norfolk, VA on April 25th, 1993. We had just finished recording “Transnational Speedway League” and it was due to come out in September of that year. The night prior to this set, we had played in New York City at The Academy with BiohazardOnyx, and Dog Eat Dog. We cleaned up this board tape as best we could. We also didn’t edit out the moments in-between songs because, despite the abundance of noise and the low fidelity, we think it best captures the essence of what a Clutch show was like 30 years ago.

Clutch will be out on tour in the next months, as you can check out below:
