Released in 1996, the year after \"Zone Tripper\" was released, this live album was welcomed by fans as an insight into early Friction live performances at a time when \"'79 Live\" was still hard to find. In the short six months since the release of \"79 Live,\" it is clear that the trio has deepened to a frightening degree. The unusual prominence, solidity, and tightness of the performance were nothing short of tremendous. This is the long-awaited first Vinyl release of this dangerous, ruthlessly thrilling, and spectacular live album.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Smoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig-S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA-Gas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCycle Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Thrill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 Nen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIkigire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic Fru.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKagayaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Friction","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":45290699194559,"sku":"SSAP-021-BK","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/live-pass-tour-80-friction-album-cover_974x_a00e572d-b232-4969-a447-28bf410ae1eb.jpg?v=1773452043"}],"url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/collections\/artist-friction.oembed","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
