NOW CONFIRMED TO BE A LOW QUALITY VERSION OF THE BATACLAN 6TH OCTOBER 1978 GIG
Here is one put up especially for MeAnIe who leaped into action at my request to replace my frazzled Reading Hexagon recording. Cheers!
There is some debate about the date (and even perhaps the venue) for this one. I received it as 12th May, but the Burning Up Time Forum lists this gig as taking place on 12th June 1978. The latter date would seem to be more logical as they played L'Anciennes on the 13th. Can any of our French friends confirm?
A listenable boot (although nowhere near the standard of the Bataclan gig), this is from the time that the band were at their most brutal on stage.

Excellent choice sir.... even if I do say it myself. Thanks again Adrian.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure this is Stadium 78 ? Looks like Paris Bataclan 06 10 1978. Same track-list. I might be wrong, but I was living in Paris in those days, and I dont remember the Stranglers playing at the Stadium. Keep on stranglering anyway. Cheers.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteYou are quite correct. I have checked the recording and can confirm that this recording is not from the Stadium, but it is an inferior copy of the Bataclan gig. I will amend this post and my list accordingly.
Thanks for your help.
Adrian.
