Clutch will release four new live albums under the umbrella name Clutch PA Tapes, the first of which is out on March 3. The first album was recorded on August 23, 2022 at the Vega venue in Copenhagen, Denmark, and you can check out "Escape From The Prison Planet" from that set below. As for how it sounds, it's Clutch – those dudes rule the stage with an iron fist. It's great.
"This upcoming Friday, March 3rd we will release digitally the first of 4 mixed and mastered live shows under the banner of Clutch PA Tapes," said Clutch of the new releases. "This initial release was recorded on Aug. 23, 2022, in Copenhagen at Vega. As of last Friday, you’ve had the opportunity to listen to the opening track of this show – 'Escape From The Prison Planet' at your preferred digital service provider.
"These live shows are handpicked by the band and reflect some of the best live atmospheres that can now be listened to by a much larger global audience.
"[Drummer] Jean-Paul Gaster says: '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!'"
