Comment from the taper

Source: 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!

Sound quality

Excellent recording from the late Clash period, unfortunately incomplete. But what's available is definetely worth a listen. They were indeed a different band from the one that first started in the mid-70's. Less wild but for sure more listenable. The audience seemed to appreciate the gig. Joe Strummer is very talkative and at one point even asked the support of the audience to have a few sentences translated into italian.

Some sources list this show as being recorded at the indoor Palasport, which is very unlikely since the recording sounds like being recorded outdoor, and Joe mentions about bookstores in the venue which makes me thinking that the show took place at the annual Festa de l'Unitø in some open door ground, as it was the case for most of those festivals. Enjoy! ldb
