This is an ancient and very poor recording. Crowd noise is limited but the band sounds distant and the material is patchy and in some cases not clear at all. Some serious tape wow/flutter and the drums are mostly inaudible.
One of those short gigs to fit in with the other bands on a packed bill at the alleged "Gig of the Century" - in this case Stiff Little Fingers, The Gang of Four, Human League, The Good Missionaries and the Mekons. The recording I have is so dire that it becomes almost unlistenable in places. However nuggets of sound do occasionally peek through from the murk and given this was coming to the end of the first Bramah era, and that few recordings of the last parts ofthis tour are avaialable it is a useful historical document.
Interesting that the band should choose to concentrate on slower material with only"Underground Medecin" picking up any real speed. This perhaps demonstrates the emerging change in direction that would be realised on Dragnet. There is an almost wilfull attempt here to play slowand with walls of sound rather than adopt the punk ethic of the time. More akin to Can perhaps than the contemporary onetwofreefour noise. Probably why Mark Smith was attacked by a stage invader!
For completists only (unless you have a better recorded version than I do)
