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.

Le Bataclan 25th March 2010 DVD

 


Ok, looking through some video material this afternoon. Admittedly some of it is not so great, but this is alright, albeit a partial set. Audience shot there is a close focus on the stage and the image is steady. Also, there is probably not so much live footage of 'Retro Rockets' around which is a bonus for this one.

I was at this and I do not recall any incidents, but I believe the cover shot is from the gig and I have to say that I have seen that face before. By the look on his face coupled with the fact that he is holding a towel to his bass, I am assuming that beer has been thrown and that is not the hand of friendship that he is offering to someone unseen in the crowd!
