Firehose at Maxwell's (12-05-1991)

On December 5th, 1991, Firehose played at Maxwell’s! Back in 2018, we posted a recording of the trio’s April 1989 appearance at Maxwell’s, and in the time between these two gigs, the band signed with Columbia Records for their fourth full-length, Flyin' the Flannel, which dropped in April of 1991. In support of the record, the band spent most of the year on the road. Just prior to this show, they wrapped up a month-long stint in Europe where they played almost every day, including gigs in the U.K., Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, and Belgium. On December 3rd, they played in Belgium and must have flown back immediately after that show, as they took the stage at Maxwell’s a mere 48 hours later. Mike Watt opened the set by saying, “it’s been a long tour and we can’t wait to get home!”
