The Hoodoo Gurus - Ethos Mama Club, Gabicce Mare, Italy, 7-17-1987

I have long been a fan of the Australian band the Hoodoo Gurus, especially their 1980s material. (They're still going as I write this in 2024.) I've particularly wanted to post a live album from them. They've posted one live album, but only as part of a multi-disc set called "Bite the Bullet," and it's compiled from lots of different concerts. I usually prefer hearing a full, unedited concert. The problem was, every time I came across a concert bootleg by the band, the sound quality was lacking - decent, but not excellent. A couple of days ago, I finally came across a concert with the sound quality I was looking for. So here it is.

I don't know much about the sourcing for this bootleg, except there's a video on YouTube of this exact show which these exact songs (broken up into several smaller videos), so this probably is taken from that, although I found the audio files of it instead. According to setlist.fm, there actually were some more songs played that didn't make this recording: "Hell for Leather," "Dig It Up," "Death Defying," and "Leilani." That's a shame, but at least it has "I Want You Back." In my opinion, in a better world, that's a great song that would have been a worldwide smash hit.

This album is 46 minutes long.

The cover shows the band's lead singer Dave Faulker at a concert in Munich, Germany, in June 1987. I got the font for the band name at the top from a concert poster.
