Tears for Fears/London,UK 1983 & more

This is a two-part coupling of soundboard recordings by Tears for Fears, a representative UK rock band of the 80s. Disc 1 is a promotional live performance of their debut album The Hurting, which was number one in the UK. It is a radio aircheck from BBC Rock Hour. It entertains with classic songs and hits such as Change, Pale Shelter, and Suffer the Children in an electric pop manner and live sound. Disc 2 is a soundcheck from Supergroups In Concert, also from FM radio, from the tour of their second album Shout, which was an undisputed smash hit. It is a wonderful set list that brings together British rock numbers that represent the 80s, with the first single from Shout at number 2, Everybody Wants To Rule The World at number 1, and Head Over Heels at number 3. The performance at the peak is so cool that it gives you goosebumps.
