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.

Roundhay Park Leeds 10th July 1994 DVD

 

Here's another mid-90s festival set from the time when the Heineken Corporation dipped their toe into the summer music festival game. I didn't go to any of these, so I can say nothing of how well they were organised etc etc but the line ups seemed to be fair enough. So how did these work then? The Roundhay Park appearances were scheduled over three days, so who played on the same billing as The Stranglers. Up in Preston I can only dream that Oasis were providing the support for Sister Sledge!


Sorry, but again, this has been in my collection for many years and as such details of its origin are lost to me. Filmed at the edge or just outside of the tent, the picture is steady and the sound reasonable.

The DVD also includes the Bose promo appearance in 1992 when JJ and Paul presented a Bose PA to H.M.P. Dartmoor as part of their involvement in the first UK National Music Day.
