Gang Of Four - Live UK - xx.xx.1979
Thanks to Dave Sez for this one. In MP3 320 Kbps, it's a good Soundboard recording-
Original Comment byu Dave:
As promised above, here's the only known recording of the Gang Of Four live in the UK in 1979 - no details as to date or venue. There are two known recordings of the Go4's 1979 US tour: 30.08.79 The Paradise Boston MA and 09.09.79 Mother's Chicago, a gig which is often attributed to other dates or venues and which bassist Dave Allen made available on his site. Neither features these two unreleased tracks or different lyrics. Let me know here if you would like them.
1.I Found That Essence Rare.
2. 5.45.
3.Anthrax.
4.Waiting For My Elevator (unreleased track).
5.I’m Not Stewing Steak/Hold Up My Weekend (unreleased track).
6.Armalite Rifle.
7.It's Her Factory (different lyrics, text in download).
8.Glass.
9.Damaged Goods.
10.Ether.
11.At Home He`s A Tourist.
12.Return The Gift.
