(TV) gang of four--atlanta

["Music Is Special" <musicisspecial@hotmail.com>]

Damaged Goods has been played at every concert this year.

in case anybody is interested, the Gang of Four London Sept 24, 2005 concert
is for sale via the following website.  i found ordering very easy - even
for US
purchaser

https://www.concertlive.co.uk/index.aspx

I got mine in the mail last week.  interestingly, despite being 75 minutes
long, they put it on two disks.  didn't matter to me as the price was right.

given they played Entertainment, it was great to hear some different songs
from on the tour.  Mix has a few rough spots but its still way better than
audience recordings.  between songs, the volume levels are quite different,
you can hear Hugo talking to his bandmates easily but one of the others you
only hear over the PA.  strange.  excellent value and wonderful to have sbd
live recording
