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.

The Jam Dad's Dancehall Malmo Sweden 23rd September 1977

 


Here's a great sounding gig from The Jam's troubled dates in Sweden. At the gig Paul Weller repeatedly exhorts the audience to move more and there may be a hint of trouble at the end of 'Carnaby Street'. A gruff voice barks at the crowd for a minute or so, but I have no Swedish so cannot discern what is being said.

The Jam ran into trouble at a gig in Ronneby when the raggare once again turned up to express their distaste for punk and managed to stop the gig. This was just a week after The Stranglers ran across them.

Thanks to the original Dime uploader.
