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.

Westfalenhalle Dortmund 30th November 1980

 


So here then, as part of the 'Nobody's Heroes' album thread is the first of two associated live recordings. This first one, whilst of superior quality, being an audio rip of the 'Rockpalasst' television broadcast, is already in wide circulation. It does however, showcase the album quite nicely.

What a brilliant piece of music TV broadcasting Germany's 'Rockpalasst' was, a type of programming sadly missed... and I say this from the perspective of someone who is trying to avoid all manner of vacuous Glastonbury footage this weekend!
