James Live @ The System Club, Liverpool, 1985-08-23


James Live - The System Club, Temple Street, Liverpool, UK - 23rd of August 1985

Uploader's info:
Soundboard recording on an "ear to the ground" bootleg tape picked up a local record fair a few weeks after the gig.

Two tracks (the first and last) are unfortunately cut, I think this is down to a dopey sound guy not pressing "record" in time and also the tape running out (the show is just over 45 mins, i.e the length of side one of a c90).

There is also some high frequency noise present throughout which is also likely to be on the master.......dopey sound guy again?. I am loath to use any noise reduction as you often lose more than you gain unless you really know what you are doing. Just adjust your Graphic EQ if its annoying.

Whatever, it was a top gig and great to hear again. The System was a pretty small basement club that hosted loads of alternative gigs/nights in the mid eighties.....its now an accountants I think.

Right tracklisting, this excellent site (http://www.oneofthethree.co.uk/gigs/liverpool230885.htm) has the tracklisting as:

So Many Ways, Uprising, Just Hip, Ya Ho, Summer Song, Hup-Springs, Johnny Yen, Fairground, Skullduggery, Vulture, Bright Side, Are You Ready?, Doubts, Discipline

BUT my tape, memories and the fact Gavin Whelan? says something like "back to normality" after swapping intruments for Discipline (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wA3ugO1mko8) suggests the actual order was like this:

1-(Intro cut) Hup-Springs
2-Johnny Yen
3-Fairground
4-Skullduggery
5-Vulture
6-Bright Side
7-Are You Ready?
8-Doubts
9-Discipline
10-So Many Ways
11-Uprising
12-Just Hip
13-Ya Ho
14-Summer Song (Outro cut)
