CLUTCH Launch New "PA Tapes" Series; First Release Out Today
March 3, 2023, a year ago
Clutch have announced a new series of live show recordings, titled PA Tapes - a decade on from boldly declaring, "If you're gonna do it, do it live on stage, or don't do it at all' in their acclaimed single "Earth Rocker".
The series comprises four meticulously mixed and mastered live shows from around the world and launches today with the band's show on August 23, 2022 at Vega in Copenhagen. Renowned for their captivating live performances, the four handpicked shows reflect some of the best live atmosphere, giving fans globally a chance to experience the energy and excitement of a Clutch concert from the comfort of their own homes, whenever they like.
Legendary for changing the set list every night, with each band member taking turns in the hot seat, Copenhagen's songs were selected by groove guru Jean-Paul Gaster. The setlist spans the band's career, including tracks from their widely praised, most recent album Sunrise On Slaughter Beach.
Gaster enthuses, “The venue that this show was recorded in is the legendary Vega. The stage and sound are top notch but more than anything the crowds are always ready to rock. We love playing Copenhagen!”
PA Tapes: Copenhagen is available now on all digital platforms, including Spotify.
The set list comprises:
"Escape From The Prison Planet"
"Impetus"
"Earth Rocker"
"The Mob Goes Wild"
"Slaughter Beach"
"Mice And Gods"

The three subsequent live shows will follow approximately every two months. The second release in the series will feature the band's performance in Nashville, Tennessee on September 29th, 2022.
