Aural Sculptors - The Stranglers Live 1976 to the Present


Welcome to Aural Sculptors, a blog aimed at bringing the music of The Stranglers to as wide an audience as possible. Whilst all of the various members of the band that have passed through the ranks since 1974 are accomplished studio musicians, it is on stage where the band have for me had their biggest impact.

As a collector of their live recordings for many years I want to share some of the better quality material with other fans. By selecting the higher quality recordings I hope to present The Stranglers in the best possible light for the benefit of those less familiar with their material than the hardcore fan.

Needless to say, this site will steer well clear of any officially released material. As well as live gigs, I will post demos, radio interviews and anything else that I feel may be of interest.

In addition, occasionally I will post material by other bands, related or otherwise, that mean a lot to me.

Your comments and/or contributions are most welcome. Please email me at adrianandrews@myyahoo.com.

Joey and Dee Dee Ramone Coney Island High NYC 4th July 1997

 


On waking up to Mo's take on 'Danny Says' I thought that I would dig out a Ramones bootleg featuring the track. However, I can't find any gigs in my collection that include the song in the set. Perhaps the exclusion of such a strong track was something to do with the fact that it is one of their slower numbers and as such did not sit comfortably in the standard high octane Ramones set.

I may be wrong, but you have to essentially look beyond the Ramones to find a live version of the track. Post Ramones, Joey and Dee Dee played a gig at Coney Island High. In preparation for the gig, a fan based poll was conducted to find the fans choice of a song to be included in the set and it seems thta 'Danny Says' was a comfortable winner.

Enjoy this, a late, almost last hurrah for a band that were so instrumental in the creation of the punk scene.

    Hey, I am a huge Ramones fan. Always looking for live shows. I have a lot. If you have some uncirculated shows maybe we can trade. I am at wickdebb@sbcglobal.net
