NOTES
Audience Recording
65 minutes
Another exceptional gig from the Autumn/Winter tour in 1980. Things seems a little more vibrant than the Acklam Hall gig several weeks later. Smith is in fine form with some impressive vocal histrionics and verbal improvisation together with a masterful use of the Kazoo.
The interesting thing here is the slightly out of kilter version of “Muzorewis Daughter” where for the first verse/chorus at least there is a slight variation on the riff.
Other than that excellent performances from the band throughout. A sort of sense of the band being totally in tune with their music and driving it on with confidence allowing the singer the space to develop his vision. Of particular note is Paul’s drumming which has an effortless funky swing about it.
