The 13th Anniversary Show Live in the U.S.A. is a live album by The Residents. It was originally released in 1986 as a double cassette and re-released on CD in 1992 by the Residents fan club UWEB. Both versions of the release are difficult to find, as they were both limited to 500 copies each.

Red Eyeball Mask Eulogy

The intro to this version of the show is a eulogy for the red eyeball mask, which was stolen after one of the shows and subsequently returned. During this show, black armbands were handed out to mourn the loss. The group felt that the eyeball was cursed, and the wearer from that time on became Mr. Skull, performing with a large skull head instead of the trademark eyeball.

This is the most cohesive and seminal presentation of what The Residents had been doing up to that point. It demonstrates without question the potency of their music presented live onstage, as opposed to the studio, i.e. electronically manipulated efforts (brilliant as they were) put forth up to that time.
