Ultravox 1984-09-10 Teatro Tenda Lampugnano Milan, Italy

LDB Special Series #331 (RLR collection)

Out of my 7,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to propose you. Most of these come from my
cassettes collection, so they will be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be disappointed!
I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, as always, your feedback and comments will be my
reward for all the work involved in this project.

DO NOT share this music on mp3, just convert it for your own use. Sharing mp3's is the right way to make me stop sharing
music here.

I think I have something really special to share with all Dimers, but first a bit of background. RLR has been a very active
trader back in the early 80´s with very wide musical tastes: he could go from Kiss to Joni Mitchell; from Genesis to Deep
Purple, Queen, Simple Minds, The Who, Springsteen and many more. In the past I could access his enormous collection to get
many U2 tapes some of which I have been sharing with you folks.

RLR had all sorts of tapes in his collection, traded not long after the show happened so most of them are low generation, in
particular tons of shows recorded in Italy which to me are some of the most interesting. Some of them, I had never seen
circulating in the trading circuit. Unfortunately he did not care about generation so this info, except for the shows he
has as masters, is not available.

RLR has kindly given me access once again to his collection. It was like a "kid in a toy shop" situation: it was hard to
select tapes and at the end I came home with some 250 tapes to listen and eventually to transfer in the digital domain. Some
of them will be shared here, possibly the most interesting ones.

Ultravox is another underrated band from the 70´s that really set the scene of the underground music. Unfortunately, as many
bands from the same environment (Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Siouxsie...) they kept going in the 2000´s which for me it is
a kind of nonsense because new wave really had a sense in the time it was born. Nowadays they seem to me a bit out of place
that they perform in these days but after all a musician plays music to make a living...

But back then they were incredible, both with the John Foxx or Midge Ure line-up.
Possibly a first generation copy from RLR collection, it sounds excellent.
