Here are several cover songs performed by Parousia, recorded live at the Plant 6 in Kenmore, NY.

The Plant 6, 3020 Delaware Avenue, Kenmore, NY.

In the month of September 1981, the band was on a high-note. Following the departure of our singer Kim Watts at the end of May, Parousia (now a six piece band) kept performing non-stop.  Just last night we played live on the radio at a special event at Uncle Sam’s where the band was broadcast live over the radio on WGRQ FM, 97 Rock.

Now, tonight we were back in Kenmore NY at one of our favorite clubs, the Plant 6.  We had lots of friends and fans show up on this night to check us out after hearing us on the radio.  We recorded the Saturday night show at the Plant 6 and have posted the audio right here. Some surviving songs from that recording include:

• “Myron” (an original song)
• “All Day & All of the Night”
• “Hocus Pocus”
• “Locomotive Breath”
• “A Day in the Life”
• “Toronto Tontos”
• “Hymn 41”
• “Ridin’ the Storm Out”
• “Start Me Up”
• “Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’”
• “Clones”
• “Squonk”
• “Subway Terror”
