WOW... What a band!between '81 & '84 diamond head were on a different level...when a band can produce such energy (shoot out the lights) majestic quality (heaven to hell) brilliant pop rock (call me)and still have a sense of humour (sucking my love) you have to put your hands up and admire them.while transferring this recording i just closed my eyes and transported myself back to the early 80's and think these must of been some of the best songs to come out of that era....pure brilliance.
The town & venue itself..well thats a different story...it's hull so it must of been raining and as for the venue... it was literally a ballroom...not the best venue for a rock gig..that aside for those of us there we witnessed something very special.this was early days for me regards to recording but i think it came out quite good (slight cock up on the tape flip at the end of devil) and i only had a c90 on me so it cuts off at the end of electric...still worth a listen mefinks....... enjoy ed
Couldn't agree more about Diamond Head - and welcome back.
