If you've listened to my albums from the 1983 US Festival, you may have noticed they performed in that one as well. They were one of just a few musical acts to perform both festivals. I think the English Beat was the only other one, although Stevie Nicks played as part of Fleetwood Mac in the 1982 festival than as a solo act in the 1983 one.
Unfortunately, the 1983 Oingo Boingo set is a soundboard bootleg, while this one comes from an audience boot. So the sound quality here is worse. I did what I could to improve it, boosting the lead vocals relative to the instruments and removing most of the crowd noise throughout the songs while keeping the cheering at the ends of songs. But still, there was only so much I could do, so this sounds listenable, but a bit rough. However, there aren't that many live recordings of the band from this time period, when I would argue they were at their best, making this one of the better sounding ones.
A few months prior to this concert, Oingo Boingo released their second studio album, "Nothing to Fear." They would release a third album before the 1983 US Festival, so the set lists between the two sets are somewhat different.
This album is 51 minutes long.

Thanks so much for all your work. Sorry that the source material is a lesser quality, but I'm sure it will be a good listen. You're cranking them out fast - that's gotta be hard work...
ReplyDeleteActually, I finished all these 1982 US Festival albums off back in August. But I'm only getting around to posting them now, including doing the write-ups. That's the case for a ton of music I have. There are 17 albums from the festival in all, compared to 28 from the longer 1983 US Festival.
DeleteThank you! Sounds like putting this festival together was a bit of a chore but less so than US '83. (New to the blog. I love the site. Appears that I literally just missed out on US 83, so it looks like I have some more downloading to do.... hopefully the links are still good!) Thanks again!
