XTC - Live At Emerald City 1981 [FM]


I've been trying to catch up on old email
& found this gem from ZED!


Hey Dino!

Hope all is well with you. Here's an XTC concert that was broadcast live on WMMR in Philadelphia from the late, great Emerald City nightclub in Cherry Hill NJ on April 17th, 1981. My brother was gracious enough to tape this show for me while I was at the concert. My original ticket stub is included with the Part 2 download. My friends and I met the band earlier that day at an "in-store appearance" they did at a local record store (which Andy Partridge mentions at the top of track 4 on disc 1). I remember my folks were pissed at me 'cause it was Good Friday and they thought I shouldn't be meeting a band or going to a concert. It was sacrilegious. I went anyway - lol! Oh well, I think they've forgotten about it by now. PEACE, ZED

Hi Dino,
You're absolutely right. This is a real gem! Recorded between their, IMHO,two best albums "The Black Sea" and "English Settlement".
This concert is a mix of pure raw energy and great musicianship.
Thank you and ZED very much for sharing this.
