It's funny how I never played any real attention to this band, even when they played in front of me at the Brighton Centre in 1986 and yet 38 years down the line I an seeing them as a near constant band appearing on my Spotify.
This recording captures the band at the University of Essex in Colchester in March 1987, around the time that the album 'Viva' was released. I did not realise that the track 'Matador' from the album was released as a single in 1986 and that the single was produced by Hugh, which would probably explain the pairing of the two band's on the Dreamtour.
The recording is OK soundwise. The band did experience some technical issue part way through the set. It the downtime when the problem was being fixed, Anja had to tell the audience to stop spitting at her. Who the hell was still spitting in 1987, I mean come on! The crowd to seem to be a bit lairy/pissed up, but that may just be another Saturday night in Colchester!
