Live Recordings 

& Reviews

Fruupp never released a live album, thus those who long to hear Fruupp in the raw are out of luck.  Fortunately, however, some shows were recorded by audience members and today circulate among the world of tape-traders.  The quality of these recordings are quite varied, though the quality of performances are unilaterally outstanding.  There are no known commercial bootlegs of live Fruupp shows.  Vince McCusker reputedly has tapes of the never-released live album that was in the works when the band split up.  Perhaps one day these shows will get released on CD ... perhaps.

Vince Lyons has set up a MySpace page devoted to live Fruupp music.  For your friendly webmeister's collection, check out Rob's live-recording list.**

** Note:  It's a cardinal rule among tape traders not to sell live music for this simply robs artists of income, thus please do not contact me about buying live Fruupp; I don't need the money and am too busy to be copying shows.  I'll consider trading for live music, though since live Fruupp is fairly rare, I'm really only interested in trading for other equally rare live shows.  Of course, I'm very interested in trading for any live Fruupp not only my list.  Peace... **
