DomP has gifted the site another great recording to which he has applied some audio noodling to achieve a version of this Mk. II gig that is streets ahead of the previous version that I uploaded to the site both in terms of format (FLAC versus MP3) and quality. I have also now added artwork.
For enthusiasts of this era of the band this will be a gem. With Paul and John performing the majority of the song writing on 'Written In Red', this dynamic was logically translated into the live set. Never before or since has a Stranglers set deviated so much from the 'classic Stranglers' and for that reason this is a good recording to bag as some of the songs in the set are unlikely to make a reappearance. Did 'In A While' ever get played anywhere else?
As mentioned in the first posting of this gig, Alkmaar served as the forerunner of the Wonky Bus excursions. It is evident from Paul's comments during the gig that the UK travelling contingent took over the front of the gig.
Thanks for answering the call Dom, some more Roberts era material was what I was looking for to balance up the audio record somewhat.FLAC: https://we.tl/t-tNaXOOJPe8Dy560L
