I have to admit, I'm not familiar at all with the music of the Tubes, other than a couple of their best known songs like "White Punks on Dope," "Talk to Ya Later," and "She's a Beauty." I've heard intriguing things, though. Although I've also heard that Tubes concerts were visual spectacles that needed to be seen as much as heard. The cover image gives a hint at just how theatrical and visually arresting they could be. Be that as it may, I plan to post most all the "Live at the Record Plant" concerts I can find, and this one randomly came up next.
The Tubes were formed in San Francisco in 1972. Before long, they were as much as performance art as they were about music. Their unusual concerts and music attracted a lot of fans, but they had trouble getting a record contract because they were so unusual. Thus, this concert took place when they had gotten pretty well known in the Bay Area, at least, but they still hadn't released an album, or even a single. Their debut album, "The Tubes," would come out in June 1975.
Here's their Wikipedia page:
The music here is unreleased, and the sound quality is very good. There's just a little crowd noise, since they performed before a small audience in the Record Plant recording studio.
This album is an hour and three minutes long.

I don't know much about the cover photo, except it's from a Tubes concert in New York City, around 1975.
