Live à St-Romuald

Voivod

Double LP
First pressing, Black Ice colored vinyl LP records
Recorded & mixed live by Mike Amstadt
Mastered by Jean-Yves Thériault

The first and last time Voivod did play in a bar! In 1986, Jean-Yves’s brother Yvan proposes the band to play a series of shows in a bar owned by his fellow co-worker at the railway company Canadian National (CN). The bar owner offers them to play four nights in a row, from Thursday to Sunday. Jean-Yves tells the band’s manager Maurice “Rocker” Richard who came up the next day with more information: the shows will take place at Bar Rock Rive-Sud at St-Romuald (Quebec) from May 1st to May 4th. Usually at that time, bands in bars play 3 sets of 45 minutes each. After discussing among us, we decide to play 2 sets of 1 hour with an intermission. We consequently have to prepare a full 2 hours of live music. The show will include songs from our first two albums (War and Pain and Rrröööaaarrr) and from our forth coming Killing Technology album. Denis D’amour and Michel Langevin will improvise a solo each. The group is then at a climax from rehearsing and composing every single day. A couple of weeks later, the band will start its first Canadian and American tour. All this energy and spirit can be heard in this double live album.
