LDB Vintage Series #066

Hi there! After closing both my Master and Special series I took a break from seeding, enjoying life and most of all
preparing for a new series! This is not going to be as frequent as my previous ones, I'll be seeding shows from time
to time so don't expect massive volumes here.

Why a "vintage" series? Because music in the 70's and 80's was really something...so different, so special with "that" kind
of sound which you don't find anymore. That was the era of real music without the internet, of long tours and enjoyable live
shows spanning from metal to new wave, progressive, jazz, fusion, pop. So many bands were born and disappeared during those
two decades.

I am then celebrating the 70's and the 80's and their unmistakeable sound in this LDB Vintage Series. You will find many bands
I have never seeded in the past but that I still enjoy listening to. Most of these come from low generation tapes that were traded
around that period, many radio broadcasts and overall lots of surprises.

Hope you will enjoy this new series!

Very nice recording from a 1st generation from the master which was sent to RLR from the german taper. I like the first leg of the UF tour
(late 1984 / early 1985) because the shows were more genuine and played in sports halls instaed of big arenas as it would later be.

I remember being so disappointed that the show was less than 100 minutes long, I thought that the band was not using the whole of their
material and that they had dropped so many of the early material in this tour. A few days after this show U2 would come for the first
time to Italy for three show.

Enjoy!
