Is this available to download ? If so I can't find the link.
ReplyDeleteI found it. Can't wait to give this a listen tonight
ReplyDeleteAny chance of posting, 1/31/81 FM broadcast from the 7th. St. Entry? I had it on cassette years ago, but it got lost in a move. That date could very well be wrong though. I remember Westerberg making a comment to the crowd about why they would show up to see them because they were "missing the North Stars".
ReplyDelete'Hey Little Girl' is a Divinyls cover.
ReplyDeleteActually I did some checking when I realised Divinyls didn't release their version of the song as "Hey Little Boy" until 1988. Apparently the song was originally called "Little Girl" when written and recorded by Syndicate of Sound in 1966, although the Mats were possibly more familiar with the Dead Boys live version which was on their album 'Young Loud and Snotty'. Sorry about that.
DeleteReally interesting version of More Cigarettes on here. Slower, I like it

ReplyDeleteFYI "Hey Little Girl" is "Little Girl" by the Syndicate Of Sound
