The Tubes — KSAN, 1974-06-02

June 2, 1974 · Record Plant Sausalito

Listen

"White Punks on Dope" was already in the set when the Tubes arrived at the Record Plant on June 2, 1974, a year before their A&M debut. Tom Donahue introduced a theatrical rock band with a satirical edge and a live show that made promoters nervous. This is the earlier of two KSAN Record Plant appearances the band made in 1974, a second session followed that November, and it catches them still working out songs in various states of completion. Prairie Prince was on drums, the same Prairie Prince who'd sat in with Journey at the same studio three weeks earlier.
