The 10th Anniversary Show (also referred to as LS1) was an unproduced concept for The Residents' first live tour, which was developed and rehearsed by the group between Fall 1981 and Spring 1982.
Intended as a retrospective containing material from across the group's catalog, the 10th Anniversary Show was planned to begin around the middle of 1982, and would likely have featured their frequent collaborator, the British guitarist Snakefinger.[1]
The 10th Anniversary Show was ultimately abandoned in favor of The Mole Show, a more elaborate and conceptual production promoting their then-current album releases Mark of the Mole and The Tunes of Two Cities, which The Residents toured between October 1982 and July 1983.
Live-in-studio rehearsal recordings of material intended for this tour were first released on the cassette release Assorted Secrets, briefly available via Ralph Records in 1984, and later as a limited edition CD in 2000 via Ralph America. Further outtakes from these sessions have since released on various expanded pREServed editions of Residents albums between 2017 and 2019.
The Residents would later enact a similar concept with their 13th Anniversary Show tour, which took place between October 1985 and January 1987, and featured Snakefinger (in what would become his final collaboration with the group, prior to his death on July 1st 1987).
