Gang Of Four - Peel Sessions {No Longer Available} Reboot


Here is a Reboot of Jobe's September 27, 2016 post 
with upgraded 320 link 

 
Flac version...new link added.

Hey is it me, or where did everybody go? I'm talking about my fellow brothers here. I realize everyone has a million other things they could be doing, instead of posting music for you to enjoy with little or no thanks at all. Maybe it's just a lull but why am I bored right out of my skull (name that lyric). 
No back cover

Songs  

1. I Found That Essence Rare
2. Return The Gift  
3. 5.45  
4. At Home He's A Tourist  
5. Natural's Not In  
6. Not Great Men  
7. Ether  
8. Guns Before Butter  
9. Paralyzed  
10. History's Bunk  
11. To Hell With Poverty

  3. Nice one, silent - always good to hear 5.45 again! And circle's just posted an early gig too: http://darkcircleroom4.blogspot.com/2018/12/gang-of-four-town-hall-bournemouth-uk.html.

    Cheers,

    2. Grand, silent - saves me digging it out and sending it over! How about posting the UK '79 gig (the only time they played Waiting For My Elevator and Hold Up My Weekend)? Let me know if you'd like me to send it over.

      Cheers,

      Dave Sez.

    5. Yup, silent, that was the one, now expired but no need to re-up as darkcircle's post is still live, and also contains the different lyrics for It's her factory ... As for date and venue of the UK '79 gig, it was almost certainly recorded on 24.02.1979 at the London Nashville, whose setlist according to http://gang-of-four-gigography.blogspot.de/2012/05/london-nashville-2421979.html was

      London, Nashville 24.2.1979
