Take a few minutes to read Sheila Prophet's review of the band's first appearance at the legendary Paradiso venue in Amsterdam. I was intrigued at the mention of 'Dead Loss Angeles'.... 'a sort of 'Peaches' revisited, with added cynicism - a damnation of the lifestyle on America's West Coast, an area Hugh hates'.
There is no denying that Prophet is describing that song.... but in September 1977!! Was it in the soundcheck? It does not appear in the bootleg that I have of the gig that can be found here.
That is a real oddity. It is a perfect description of DLA....and why would he type that title (missing an 's' of course) out of the blue? But not on tape? My only thought is.....didn't they do two nights at the Paradiso in Sept (21/22?) - maybe he is referring to one night and the tape you have is another?
