Amazing to see these. I was at this gig, 16 years old and venturing into Belfast city centre was quite the adventure in those days. Very few bands had visited Belfast in the early and mid 70s due to the troubles, and then suddenly a spurt from about 76 onward - Dr Feelgood, Eddie and the hot rods, T...

From memory, they weren't great quality and far from essential.

It was a very useful boot when it first appeared but much of the content was subsequently officially released on the Rhino reissue bonus discs.

6/6/84 Tokyo
6/7/86 Werchter
14/5/96 Los Angeles

Thanks in advance!

Individual tracks from Peel sessions turn up now and again in good quality on various BBC programmes - heres a recent one of Mystery Dance (1 hour 15 mins in):

It's 11,000 capacity is for full hall, going by the photos they reconfigured it to around half or a third of that size. Still, I said when it was announced it was a strange venue choice, way too big for an artist with whom Belfast has an uneasy relationship. By which I mean, there were long periods ...

Pretty sure the Imposters did Moods for Moderns as fill in music during the Spinning Songbook tours

Different from the recorded version if I recall correctly.

I'm going to see The Undertones tomorrow in Dublin. The support act will be The Trouble Pilgrims , which is made up of surviving members of the Radiators From Space . Steve Averill is one of them. Steve designed sleeves for Elvis's albums in the 1990s. #touchedbythehandofdeclan No support act for t...

Interview to promote this - about 15 minutes into this - http://www.todayfm.com/player/listen_back/9/29039/12th_May_2016_-_The_Paul_McLoone_Show_Part_2 The interviewer, Paul McLoone, is the singer with the Undertones (who I'm going to see tonight in Belfast), who are also playing the Galway festiva...

I will miss this one as I'll be in the US on that date. I've been at every Costello gig in Belfast since 1978, so not happy!

SSE Arena is a strange choice, it's a cavernous ice hockey arena, 6,000+ capacity, really only suitable for big arena shows.

Would Shannon be closer, John?
