Paleo Festival Nyon Switzerland 24th July 1988

With festival season upon us and with The Stranglers perhaps better represented this year in the waterlogged fields of Northern Europe than in previous summers I wanted to share this earlier gig from 1988.

The Paleo Festival from Nyon in Switzerland. A radio broadcast, the quality is excellent and the performance is marred only by the job jockey who, like so many of his ilk, loves the sound of his own voice. Perhaps a visitor of this blog from Europe could offer an explanation as to why Continental broadcasts of live gigs are treated like football matches with commentaries along the same lines!?

So, If you can blank the Swiss jock, this is a very enjoyable show featuring rare outings for 'Vietnamerica' and 'Peasant In The Big Shitty'  and JJ does his level best to wind up the audience.

... all good stuff!

Thanks to Dom P who provided me with a new version (mine having gone south).

Artwork is included in the download folder (this is worthy of a note, at the point that the AW was prepared the date was taken from the Forum as occurring on 19th, whereas the poster and the ticket would indicate that the gig took place on 24th. If in your pedantry you cannot cope with this error, let me know and I will correct it).
