Ian Dury & the Blockheads/CA,USA 1978 2Days

The strongest live performance in 1978, the year after the release of the debut work “NEW BOOTS AND PANTIES!!”, is recorded directly from the master with the pre-FM sound source recorded on the finest stereo soundboard! The single “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll” released on the Stiff label reached number 3 on the UK charts, and their debut album “NEW BOOTS AND PANTIES!!” released in September 1977 reached number 5 on the UK charts. Ian Dury & The Blockheads were on a roll after recording a huge hit! This work is a powerful item that has been digitally transferred directly from the master and recorded the pre-FM sound source recorded by FM station KSAN at San Francisco’s Old Waldorf performance on March 21st and 22nd, 1978! It is recorded with impeccable sound quality in both mix and balance, and of course it is a rare sound source that has not been included on the official CD that has been reissued in recent years! The set list was selected from the late show on both days, and the set list centered on numbers from the masterpiece “NEW BOOTS AND PANTIES!!”, and you can’t miss the rare number “I Made Mary Cry” from the Kilburn & Highlows era. yeah! 01.Sex Drugs And Rock’n Roll 02.I’m Partial To Your Abracadabra 03.Wake Up and Make Love To Me 04.Clevor Trevor 05.If I Was With A Woman KSAN-FM / Pre-FM Master // Old Waldorf,San Francisco, CA March 21,1978 Late show 06.Sex Drugs And Rock’n Roll 07.I’m Partial To Your Abracadabra 08.Wake Up and Make Love To Me 09.Clevor Trevor 10.If I Was With A Woman 11.Billericay Dickie 12.Sweet Gene Vincent 13.Plastow Patricia 14.I Made Mary Cry 15.Blackmail Man 16.Blockheads KSAN-FM / Pre-FM Master // Old Waldorf,San Francisco, CA March 22,1978 Late show Ian Dury: Vocals Mickey Gallagher: Keyboards Davey Payne: Saxophone Charlie Charles: Drums Norman Watt-Roy: Bass John Turnbull: Guitar
