From the Kettles of Fish on the Outskirts of Town DVD:

How to get a head

Dinah and the unclean skin

Firefall

Roadworms (The Berlin Sessions)(2000)

"On July 7th, 1999 The Residents entered the SFB Sendesaal studio in Berlin with the idea of documenting arrangements the band had been playing on their Wormwood Tour. Though the shows had been recorded, the group felt that removing the demands of performance and the associated masks and costumes would allow for a better musical focus."

The Residents - 1998-10-30 The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA

Ok, so this is a set filled with Wormwood tracks, but it's NOT the same Wormwood set that toured the world (hope ya saw 'em).
This was the version they did BEFORE that tour, for a local San Francisco audience & a bunch of travel-enabled diehard fans.
(Remember, at the time it'd been almost 8 years since they last toured - who knew what was coming in '99?)
Mr. Skull's rap was a whole lot different, explaining what's going on more frequently.
The bulk of the songs are the same, but there's a few here that weren't retained for the world tour version (ex. - I Hate Heaven).
The touring version also included a handful of new-not-on-the-LP pieces that are not present here (ex. - 2 of the 4-part David suite were new).
Also Gamelan Sekar Jaya joined them onstage for the first part of Act Two, a highlight for me personally.
(I remember seeing pictures of this, quite a sight with some 15-20 performers all obscured by some kind of mask.)
And as a bonus, the encore songs were some old classics (not the world tour's Old Time Religion).

I know some fans hope and pray that a video of this version could be released some day.
Fow now, listen to this a few times & I bet you'll wanna count yourself among them.

So there's a bit'o'hiss, oh well; this is the best of the lot, matey, & once it gets going, that won't be foremost in your mind.
Musically, it's a fine performance, one that warrants the prayers.
I'm sure happy the tapers got it & shared it, so we can hear it now - say hallelujah!

The Wormwood Live CD notes "Skull Prayer", but the same song is noted as "Un-American Band" on Roadworms.
The new Abraham & David segment pieces were said to have various titles at the time of the tour / before the Wormwood Live CD came out.
The Wormwood Live CD clears this all up by... conveniently just calling it all "Abraham" & "David"; I chose to break them out.
Following that logic, "Bridegroom Of Blood" should've just been named "Moses" on the Wormwood Live CD - but no.
Now that that's all clear, call 'em what you want, just don't call me later for dinner.
