Psychedelic Furs "Elmo Insults" (live at the El Mocambo 7/15/81) REPOST

"Aren't you allowed to dance or anything? Must be like this in Las Vegas"

Richard Bultler queires the punters after song one at the good old El Macambo and that's just the beginning.....hence the name "Elmo Insults". Well if you've ever been to a show in Toronto, you knew what he meant.

I must admit I had never followed this band at all. I knew some of their stuff, but never bought an album. So I'm not 100% certain on songs titles here. However I really dug the energy and spirit of this gig. It show is from 1981, yet I don't think it was broadcast until late 1980's or early 1990's. This is another from my collection that somehow survived on cassette and was burned to CD much later. Broadcast by the once mighty CFNY in Toronto. During the 80's this station was the forerunner in promoting all kinds of new music, both local bands and from overseas. Unfortunately during the 90's and beyond, it morphed into yet another soulless, waste-of-space- on-the-dial corporate entities.

Joe Jackson - Live at Kingswood* Music Theatre (Canada's Wonderland) 6/13/86 REPOST

It was a lovely warm summer night...........one we'll remember for a long time......my best friend Alex, Tina and some of her friends.......

Joe had just released his double set "Big World". At this stage in his carreer, he had a mighty big bag of songs to choose from, so it was exciting to see what he was going to pull out next. The sound that night was just amazing! And we had great seats about 15 rows back, just slightly to the left of center, with a great view of the stage. Needless to say, I was overwhelmed by the tape of this show when I got home. So here it is - check it out! It's somehow survived all those years, and was transferred onto CD in early 2000's when I figured out how to use a PC. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.


As far as boots go, this is an audience tape (Sony Walkman), and I would I would still rate the sound at 8/10. There are some rough spots, but overall a great listen. I know there are purists out there who will critize.....but the hell with the them.....IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC! Back in the day, audience stuff was all we ever could scronge up. And when we did get find some, it was pretty crappy for the most part.

*Kingswood Music Theatre - once the primo concert spot in the Toronto area before the Ontario Place Forum (R.I.P.) got eaten by Molsons - part of Paramount theme park, called Canada's Wonderland in a place they call Maple, Ontario, just north of Toronto. I saw many shows there in the 80's (Big Country, The Cure, David Lee Roth, Neil Young , etc. Just a great place to see a show - fabulous stage and PA system. This particular show was probably the best sound I have ever heard live - perhaps rivaled only by Nick Lowe at the Copa Club in Toronto (sorry forget the date on that one.....).
