The End - Brisbane Hotel, 1979



Steve aka duckdogtwo a frequent contributor here has
added to the end post with this fantastic live recording
of the end back sometime in 1979.
Heck that was when I was in grade 10 or something.
I remember trying real hard to see the Boomtown rats
then, but I digress. It would be a couple of years before
I started hitting venues like the Brisbane Hotel, where
the Saints ( with ed on bass) would deafen me.
This is a great recording, I'm thinking soundboard,
great vocals high in the mix, all instruments clear
and it starts with the classic John Cale song This heart
of mine. Fantastic with a great version of Just Skin
and my confession is supurb.
Thanks Steve.

Now does anyone have the Hot records cassette release.

A friend of mine I met in Amsterdam way back said that he played with this crew...does the name Andrew Massey ring any bells with any of you guys?
