KING'S X Drummer Jerry Gaskill Back Home After Hospital Stay
March 22, 2012, 12 years ago
KING'S X drummer Jerry Gaskill has been released from the hospital and is back at home, after suffering a serious heart attack in the early morning hours on Sunday, February 26th.
To help Jerry pay his medical bills, King's X are offering up a live MP3 concert called Burning Down Boston - Live At The Channel 6.12.1991. This release was edited and mastered from a stereo FOH recording. While the audio is far from perfect sonically, the performance documents yet another magical night on tour while supporting the Faith Hope Love album.
While many of the song titles are familiar, the band expands many of the cuts featured here, including performances that are blistering ('Moanjam'),heavy and funk-laden ('We Are Finding Who We Are'), beautiful ('The Burning Down'), and truly transcendental ('Over My Head'). A few songs from the show were omitted due to tape damage. However, we have included three bonus tracks (an additional 15 minutes) from the same show that were not presented in the main tracklisting.
All recordings previously unreleased: 14 songs, 89 minutes.
Tracklisting:
'We are Finding Who We Are'
'Mission'
'Far, Far Away'
'We Were Born To Be Loved'
'It's Love Intro'
'It's Love'
'I'll Never Get Tired Of You'
'Visions'
'Over My Head'
'Moanjam'
'The Burning Down'
'Talk To You' (bonus track)
'Fall On Me' (bonus track)

All upcoming North American tour dates for King's X have been cancelled. Jerry will be spending these days recovering back to full health so that he can hopefully join the band behind the drums at some point in the future.
