This version of this amazing gig has never been circulated, having sat in my cupboard for nearly 20 years.
A friend taped it using my Sony Recording Walkman because I was on a biology A Level field trip.
It came out very well… a bit swirly in places as he was as close to the stage as he could get and being pushed about.
I compared it to two other versions I grabbed from here years back, and I think it’s the best.
Hear for yourself.
RIP Andy Rourke.
