comments:
the B-52's played three nights in a row in this little club on their
"cosmic thing" tour, which was probably the height of the band's
popularity in Boston. America's favorite party band had 3 hits (at least)
from this record, roam, channel Z and love shack. they were in a very
upbeat mood for this show (aren't they always ready for a party in their
concerts?) and so was the crowd. the taper must have had a pretty good
spot, since the crowd is pretty loud, but the crowd noise on the recording
is not very loud. I only had to do a little bit of clap reduction to this
one. it's missing maybe about the last 30 seconds or so of "roam", because
the 1st side of tape ran out, otherwise this seems to be the full show.
everybody likes to party with the B-52's, and nobody doesn't like Sara Lee.
"Citi" used to be "Metro" and later became "Avalon", one of the endless
series of clubs on Landsdowne Street, right behind the most famous tin
structure in all of Boston- Fenway Park's "Green Monstah" left field wall.
the previous transfer ran too fast, so this one replaces it.
