Modern Eon - Radio Sessions and Live in 1981- UPDATE

 

Some days ago I was requested to update a couple of dead links associated with an early post that I did back in 2012 on Liverpool band, Modern Eon. Try as I might, I was unable to locate the original files which resulted in an appeal for help to which you responded. I would like to thank here Pod who sent over replacement files.

Whilst these new files are in MP3 format, they are of excellent quality, and more complete than what I had previously posted. 'Second Still' and 'Watching The Dancers' in Liverpool are here whereas these two songs were missing from the original post and the Dutch gig from Groningen is new.

There is one thing puzzling me here. Modern Eon were tour support for The Stranglers in February 1981. Records show that The Stranglers played at Liverpool University on 20th February and Manchester Apollo the following night on 21st. And yet, according to these files, Modern Eon played Liverpool's Royal Court Theatre on 21st. Maybe the band raced back to Liverpool to perform a headline slot after the manchested support?

So, here you have it, I am no expert on Modern Eon, but I would imagine that aside from official studio recordings, the material here would be pretty much the extent of what is out there for the band.

Thanks again for the help.
