Dave Edmunds - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, Freilichtbuhne Loreley, St. Goarshausen, Germany, 8-20-1983

I just posted BBC concert albums from Joe Cocker and the Steve Miller Band that took place on this same date and location. There was kind of a mini rock festival in Germany on this day, with sets by U2, Dave Edmunds, the Stray Cats, Cocker, and Miller. As I explained in those previous posts, all the sets were broadcast both on the German TV program "Rockpalast" and on BBC radio. So here's the Dave Edmunds set too.

I consider myself fortunate to have found this bootleg when I did, because it's saved me from posting something else. I'd already posted a "BBC Sessions, Volume 1" concert from Edmunds, which took place in 1982. I had a "Volume 2" ready to go, but it was a different 1983 concert. It was a "BBC Rock Hour" concert that took place in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, in July 1983. But that concert recording is inferior to this one in every way. It's shorter, only 35 minutes long. And basically all the songs are the same, except there were fewer of them. But most importantly, this one has noticeably better sound quality. So that one has gone in my trash and this is now "Volume 2."

Although only one year had passed since "Volume 1," Edmunds had released a studio album in the meantime, 1983's "Information." It had two medium hits on it, "Slipping Away" (written by Jeff Lynne of E.L.O.) and "Information" (written by Edmunds and a professional songwriter, and produced by Lynne). Those would be the last significant hits for Edmunds. Perhaps due to his declining sales, I don't know of any BBC concerts by him after this.

Billy Bremner, who was in the band Rockpile with Edmunds and Nick Lowe in the late 1970s, was in Edmunds' band at this time. Just as was the case with Rockpile, Bremner was allowed to occasionally sing a song. He put out his first solo album in 1983. He sang the main single from that, "Loud Music in Cars," which isn't on any Edmunds studio album.

As I previously mentioned, I plan on also posting the Stray Cats set from this concert (but not the U2 one because it's too similar to another one I've already posted). However, that'll be "BBC Sessions, Volume 3" for the Stray Cats, so I want to post Volumes One and Two first.

This album is 55 minutes long.
