Ain't It Dead Yet?

Released31 May 1989
Popularity16.5

Ain't It Dead Yet? is a live album from Skinny Puppy, the Canadian electronic group. It captures a show at the Toronto Concert Hall on 31 May 1987, played during the tour for their album Cleanse Fold and Manipulate. Nettwerk released it on 31 May 1989.

Within the band's story, it arrives between VIVIsectVI and Rabies, and it preserves the Cleanse Fold and Manipulate era on stage. A film of the performance was also shown at the South by Southwest festival on 18 March 1989. For anyone who knows Skinny Puppy mainly through their studio records, it offers a view of their industrial and experimental sound in a live setting.
