61 minutes

Airshot from BBC Radio 1 Sound City Series (broadcast on 29th April 1994)

Excellent recording – worth it alone for one of the only three live versions of Cab Driver.

All in all one of the better live recordings of the group – and reflecting on the similar airshot from Sheffield earlier in the year a chance to see how the music had progressed in the intervening eight months.

Notably there is a no Mark on “Cab Driver” relying as it does on samples from “A Part of America :Therein” and apart from a contribution from Karl relatively little vocally on “Paranoid” – the concluding “Free Range” is simply breathtaking with an immense wall of sound emerging from Craig’s guitar.
