Quite possibly, it was the original broacast of this back in 1978 that turned me into a devotee rather than as casual listener of the Boomtown Rats.
The set list is not dissimilar to the Hammersmith Odeon set, but is a little less polished, and all the better for it. Also visually it was a lot better devoid of any special effects, though you have to remember I have not seen this for almost thirty years now!
It is also the best known Boomtown Rats bootleg. There are other tapes/MP3s out there, of course, but none have really gone beyond the ubiquitous TDK C90 bar this one.
There are two known formats. There is the Vinyl LP....
BOOMTOWN RATS In Concert (Rare 1978 original UK BBC Transcription Service radio library LP, recorded live in concert at the Middlesex Polytechnic, North London; with original cue sheet CN3189/S).
....and the CD (with especially dodgy artwork!)
label STREAMWAY INC. (unofficial)
cat. no. KISS NO. 1
This was last broadcast on the defunct UK Arena back in 1999. Let's hope it will be broadcast again.
