Background[]
Diskomo Live is an excerpt from the final 13th Anniversary Show, which featured a very different set up to the rest of the show, featuring a slightly altered setlist, including Diskomo as the encore, as well as Penn & Teller narrating. The single was released as a bonus for the April 1988 issue of Reflex Magazine, which featured The Residents on the cover.
Live Dispute[]
Residents fan club owner Uncle Willie, disputed the claim that this was an authentic live recording, claiming it was a studio re-creation of a live performance in his March 1990 newsletter.
