Katrina & the Waves - 9:30 Club, Washington, DC, 5-16-1985

Katrina and the Waves are mostly considered a "one-hit wonder" from the 1980s, even though they had multiple hits, including one as late as 1997. But I have a soft spot for them, which you may have noticed when I posted a two volume best of collection in 2022. They never released a live album, and bootlegs are nearly nonexistent. But I recently came across this soundboard boot, so I thought I'd share it here.

Katrina and the Waves will forever mainly be known for the hit song "Walking on Sunshine," and of course that's here, near the end. But all the songs are good, in my opinion, and very lively and danceable. If you want upbeat, this is what you want to hear. This band is way better than their one-hit wonder status would suggest.

There's not much else to say. The recording has great sound quality. For once, I didn't have to boost the lead vocals or do anything else.

This album is 47 minutes long.

The cover photo comes from a 1989 concert. I found other ones from around 1985, but I just particularly liked this one.
