The Residents Play Wormwood is a concert film by The Residents, filmed in Bonn, Germany, July 16th 1999, during the tour based on their concept album Wormwood.
Background
The show was originally filmed as a webcast for Museumsmelle, on the second and final leg of the Wormwood tour. The DVD was released six years later on the 2nd of August 2005 by Euro Ralph, then in October by MVD, with a soundtrack mixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. The show's setlist represents an abridged form the orginaly and lenghty Wormwood setlist, cutting out two covers 'Un-American Band', 'Old Time Religion', as well as a Residents compositon 'Welcome To Wormwood (God's Business)'. Strangely, these songs are featured in the track listing on the back cover.
