Live Recordings 1976 to Date

Queensway Hall Dunstable 2nd October 1977

 


Now, the photos and the interview were merely a prelude for this, an early recording pretty new to circulation. The Stranglers are now into week two of a marathon of a UK tour. The sound on this one is pretty good for an audience recording of this vintage. Whilst it is quite difficult to discern what Hugh is saying between songs (at least for my cloth ears!), the band are clearly giving it 100% in what is clearly a boisterous gig in Bedfordshire. Listen out for the drawn out ending of the new song, '5 Minutes'. Thanks to DomP for his audio work on this one and forsharing the file.

  1. Dunstable is a market town and civil parish in Bedfordshire, England, east of the Chiltern Hills, 30 miles (50 kilometres) north of London.
    The 90's Band Circus In Town hail from there.
