Rage Against the Machine - Live On Tour 1993 [2LP Etched]

Live On Tour 1993 rebuilds Rage Against the Machine's debut album from the stage, one city at a time, on 140-gram 2LP vinyl in a gatefold with an etched side.

In 1993 the band were touring their self-titled debut relentlessly across North America and Europe, and word about the shows was spreading fast. This collection, first released in 2025, takes a performance of each of that album's ten songs from a different stop on the run, from Washington D.C. and Orlando to Paris, Milan and Toronto, sequenced to mirror the original running order.

The recordings are raw and unpolished, with no studio sweetening between the band and the crowd. Bombtrack opens proceedings in Washington D.C. with Tom Morello's guitar squalling over Tim Commerford's bass, Killing in the Name in Orlando is every bit as volcanic as you would hope, and Bullet in the Head, caught in Paris, stretches its tension until it finally snaps. Freedom closes the set in Chicago, Brad Wilk driving the band home while Zack de la Rocha gives it everything he has left.

It is a vivid snapshot of a young band at its hungriest, still touring its very first record. The etched side turns it into a handsome keepsake, too.
