A nice soundboard of the full concert from a 3rd gen source. It has a goodish mix, clarity and a nice width of sound. It suffers that outdoor sound but apart from that is very good.
It is marginally better then the boot LP Come Back which is edited to a re-ordered 13 tracks. I t is a touch tinny with some echo/distance. Overall the sound is clearish, just, but the dista nce and odd eronous errors mark it down. It is also a picture disc LP suffering degradation very easily.
The gig was hacked up so as to contain the then 6 unreleased Cut the Crap songs on one side and the remainder on the back side.

And you know something? I got it now, 22 years later...
I was at that show Feb 27, 1984, Milan.... Well I finally discover what Joe is ranting presenting this song!
Is talking about Comiso! Comiso (speaking Còmiso, not Comìzo as Joe's ranting) is a little town in Sicily where in the early 80's was installed a USA militar base with Cruise missiles! There was a lot of struggle and clashes around this installation during those years.

The gig was held in a big sport hall that do not exist anymore. I was only at the first concert. The band was fast and tight but quite monotonous. The acustic was horrible and at that time Joe wasn’t even trying to have any interaction with the crowd. I really appreciated Guns of Brixton with paul’s harp. The new songs looked under rehearsed by then. Luca Lanini

| this gig never took place. the band were scheduled to play Espace Ballad on the 23rd Feb. but this had to be re-sheduled to March 1st as a national lorry drivers strike blocked the trucks carrying the gear at Calais. Tickets stubs however stiff carry the 23rd date for a price of 80F which would have been about £6 at the time. | ||
