Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers/NJ, USA 1980

The New Jersey performance recorded with a good monaural soundboard recording from the treasured sound source of the Heartbreakers, who held a reunion gig only a few times in 1980, is now available for the first time! The Heartbreakers held a reunion gig only a few times in 1980 when Johnny Thunders was still mainly active in Gang War.On April 2, 1980, Johnny, Walter, Billy, and Lee Crystal performed together. A rare sound source recorded for the first time with a good monaural soundboard recording of a live performance with an irregular composition of drums! The sound source is a rough mix that seems to have been directly connected to the mixing board, and although the vocals are loud and the balance is not good, it is recorded with very clear and good sound quality, and the unstable parts of the volume caused by the master have been corrected as much as possible. I am. The masterpiece “L. A. M. F. ”, the title track from Johnny’s solo album “SO ALONE”, Shangri-Las covers “Give Him A Great Big Kiss”, “London Boys”, and numbers from the Dolls era, with Walter taking lead vocals on 84. A perfect set list including “Seven Day Weekend”, which was played at the reunion in 2008, and “M.I.A.”, which was first recorded on the album “Que Sera Sera” released in 1985! With the good support of Lee Crystal, who has been the drummer for several times during the 1978 live show, he gives a powerful performance that doesn’t make you feel anxious about Jerry’s absence!
