UPDATE Oct 02, 2008: The full 12 minute version of this video is now available in high-quality from the iTunes Music Store!


Performing in countries through Eastern Europe is an adventure. We usually travel over night to the next city after the previous gig. In this situation we were coming from a gig in Vilnius, Lithuania and driving overnight for a day off in Katowice Poland. The day after that we had a show scheduled for Zabrze, Poland.

The video goals on the Real Illusions tour (among some other colorful celluloid exploits) was to capture a unique kind of performance for each song on the Real Illusions CD. Since "K'm-Pee-Du-Wee" was already released on a G3 DVD from Japan, I wanted to offer a different type of performance video other than a live concert setting for that song. Never having been to Katowice Poland (oddly enough), I thought it would be a cool idea to just show up and set up a little trio combo somewhere outside of the hotel in the street, unannounced, and just jam on K'm-Pee.

The band and crew were real sports about it. Mike Mesker shot some entertaining footage and although the equipment we used to perform with looked a little anemic, it was mic'ed properly and heavily EQ-ed so the sound we captured is actually pretty good.

We just jammed through the song a few times and I cut it together.
I think it turned out charming with some striking moments.

The full 12 minute extravaganza will soon be available exclusively through the iTunes Music Store.

  • Wonder why Steve ...

    Wonder why Steve uses a standard edge,instead of the low pro edge now days.Flo is the only one of his guitars ive seen over the last few yrs with the low pro that used to come in jems.And if Steve happens to read this plaese answer how they took a square heal that Flo origionaly had and made it an aanj,And is Flo the Floral pattern used in the Zappa tribute vid kenealy put on with dweezle,Or the one in the Roth vid?? Would like to get the inside scoop on Flo,ha,ha,Thanks for all the music Steve.
