As 2023 slips further away I'm taking you back to December 1979 when one of the most successful UK bands of the 80's, were plying their trade as a support act.
Forty-four years since that performance, while supposedly Christmas shopping! I came across a 2nd hand CD of OMD's second album 'Organization' which included bonus tracks that I'd never heard before.
Subsequently later that evening, while looking through torrent sites I spotted this early live show and was impressed by the sound quality and performance. It's definitely worthy of a place on the blog.
Seven of the tracks performed here appeared on their debut album, released on 22 February, 1980. The closing track is a cover of the VU song.

MULTIBAND REMASTER by the Digital Loyalist
This time i want to pay my tribute to true pioneers of British synth era.
It's a well know bootleg recording when they were a duo, Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys with their drum machine 'Winston'
As always i wanted to improve this soundboard recording by Hans 'the madtaper" Devente by using Steinberg Multiband Compressor.
Shared originally by 'Creatured' on Dime, many thanks to him. Cheers, Viv
LINEAGE 2 (my version) =
Flac > Wav > Steinberg Multiband compression > Wav 16 bits 44.1 kHz > Flac level 8.
