Live in Porto is the "authorisedbootleg" of a live performance byCoil, which took place on 21 June 2003 at the Casa da Música Festival,Porto,Portugal. At this show, Coil werePeter Christopherson,Thighpaulsandra andOssian Brown.Jhonn Balance was too sick to attend, as in case ofMontreal concert atMUTEK Festival.
This limited edition bootleg in semi-transparent hand-made packaging came in six designs: white, black, red, blue, purple and pink. The package inside a clear plastic wallet includes audio CD, clear plastic CD-size disc with text printed onto it, printedacetates displaying colourful biologicalmicrographs, and printed semi-transparent paper inserts containing single colour designs. Each of these six edition was limited to 100 numbered copies, making 600 copies total.[1] Last ones (with blue, pink and purple designs) were made available for sale viaThreshold House website on 1 February 2008,[2] together with still available downloads inFLAC,aac andmp3 formats.
Jhonn Balance does not appear on this recording, so all five tracks are instrumental. "Blue Rats" was originally released in studio form onA Thousand Lights in a Darkened Room by Black Light District (alias for Coil). "Triple Sun" was never recorded in studio, but it was frequently played during Coil tournee. Its reworked version appears onThe Ape of Naples. "Radio Westin" appeared as "Wraiths and Strays" onBlack Antlers andSelvaggina, Go Back into the Woods. "The First Five Minutes After Death" is an extended version of exit song fromHorse Rotorvator.
