Toyah The Rainbow London 21st February 1981

Toyah did not support The Stranglers, but Toyah Willcox did lend a helping hand at the early April Rainbow gigs as a guest vocalist.

Here is a soundboard recording of the band Toyah playing in their own right at the Rainbow. This is, I think, an audio rip of the long deleted BBC Video of the band's appearance at the North London venue. I remember seeing this high on the shelf of my local record shop (Rounder Records in Burgess Hill - now long gone) for £20 or more. A fortune then. I think that Toyah Live at the Rainbow may have been the second ever video music release after Gary Numan's 'Touring Principle'.

Thanks for the trade.

The Roundhouse 26th June 1977

I was thrilled to receive this one recently! Initially I thought that I didn't have this one at all, but on closer inspection I can see that a version of this gig was posted on here in June 2013 in mp3 format. Here is is again, this time in lossless WAV format plus three additional tracks, 'London Lady', 'Straighten Out' and 'Burning Up Time'. You must grab this. Thanks for the trade!!

The Damned Bristol Locano 17th June 1979

With a apologies to The Stranglers, here's a somewhat better gig from Bristol. With the Stooges on speed sound left behind them by the summer of 1979 The Damned were back with one of the finest punk alum's ever recorded, 'Machine Gun Etiquette'. This tour also saw them teamed up with The Ruts - not a bad paring for £1.75 in my eyes!

Thanks to Scott for this one.https://we.tl/xUmfrbpDSK
