The sound of this bootleg is excellent, although the crowd noise is rather loud. But I had one beef with this. Namely, it happened a little early to include some of their biggest songs. The album "Sports" was released in 1984, and this is from the tour to support that. It was their most popular album, going platinum seven times over. But a year later, they released the Number One hit "The Power of Love," used in the movie "Back to the Future." Then their 1986 album "Fore!" had some other big songs. That too was a big seller, but their popularity quickly declined after that.
Since this is probably the only live album from them that I'm going to have, I included three more songs from a 1986 bootleg concert: "Hip to Be Square," "Jacob’s Ladder," and "The Power of Love."

The cover photo was taken at a concert in Irvine, California, in April 1984. I found the band's logo on the Internet and added that in.
Thanks for the Extras!!
ReplyDeleteA mind is like a parachute, it has to be open to work! The eighties music scene was a horrible era in the pop world (imho) and my musical taste ascended into heavy metal. So I know nothing of these artists, infact, I'm completely intolerant of them. Maybe I will discover something new and my prejudice will be lessened.
ReplyDelete(I doubt you'd create a Metallica or Iron Maiden stray tracks album! Hah,)
so many thank.
The Glastonbury festival and the festival scene would be a website in itself and has perhaps been represented hear livebootlegconcert.blogspot.com
You don't know anything of Huey Lewis? That would surprise me. By the way, I'm not into heavy metal (unless Led Zep counts), but I plan on posting something soon that will involve Metallica and Iron Maiden and the like... kind of. It has to do with mash-ups.
DeleteOnly the hits! So, looking forward to continuing my musical education. I don't often get my metal head on these days! Will be an interesting mashup experience. An acoustic Metallica album might surprise you? They did a Bridge School Benefit and a few other acoustic sets through the years. That said, I went back to the begging of Rock n Roll and discovered the psychedelic sound. Thanks for your fantastic blog. Always makes my day
ReplyDeleteActually, I was at that Bridge Benefit to see the Metallica acoustic set. (Though it was more acoustic-y, as they played as a full band, with drummer.) It was pretty good, I must admit.
DeleteThanks for this. Great live band!
