Oingo Boingo - Reseda Country Club, Los Angeles, CA, 5-21-1984

The other day, I wanted to listen to Oingo Boingo, but I wanted to hear something different. I thought I had all the really excellent sounding live recordings from the band's early years, which is my favorite time period for them. There are only a few worthy bootlegs, and I've posted most of them. But I was pleasantly surprised to discover one more.

This took place almost a year after the release of the 1983 album "Good for Your Soul." But they still hadn't released anything new since then, so the songs generally come from that album, plus the two previous ones.

This comes from a soundboard bootleg. The sound quality is excellent, and there were no problems to fix. But there is one unfortunate thing, and that's that it's not complete. I looked it up at setlist.com, and around this time, the band usually ended the show with an encore of "Violent Love" and "Only a Lad." Those are missing. Plus, they played one or more songs before the first song here. For instance, they almost certainly played "Wake Up (It's 1984)," since it was very relevant in the year of 1984. But hey, at least we have the vast majority of the concert, with maybe ten to 20 minutes missing. 

I looked around for versions of "Violent Love" and "Only a Lad" to add as bonus tracks, but I couldn't find any with worthy sound quality from 1983, 1984, or 1985. So I decided to just stick with this.

This album is an hour and seven minutes long.
