Big Bottom Pow Wow

Big Bottom Pow Wow is a promotional CD released by Columbia Records (cat. no. CSK 5122) to help promote fIREHOSE's final studio album, mr. machinery operator. The CD features two tracks from mr. machinery operator as well as "Revolution (Part Two)" from live totem-pole e.p., "Down With The Bass" from Flyin' the Flannel, and a live-in-studio version of "Powerful Hankerin'" recorded at Electric Lady Studios with J. Mascis joining in on guitar. 
Of primary interest on the CD for fans, however, besides the live version of "Powerful Hankerin'", are excerpts from a roundtable discussion on the bass between Mike Watt, Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and Cris Kirkwood (Meat Puppets), with Les Claypool (Primus) joining in via phone. 
The bass spiels were recorded at Westlake Audio, Hollywood, CA, on February 19, 1993. The live version of "Powerful Hankerin'" was recorded at Electric Lady Studios on March 15, 1993.
The CD is out of print, but all of the non-commerically-released tracks are available for download via corndogs.org.
