Marvin Gaye - Budokan - 1979

Yet another little treasure. This is Marvin Gaye live at Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan, way back on November 13th 1979.

The man made great music throughout his career, and is synonymous with Tamla Motown.
As is widely known he also had something of a troubled life at times, and when this concert took place he was not far from rock bottom with both tax debt and drug problems.

However a true performer, he sounds great, and with a backing band that has real power & edge, this was a great show.





Set List:

Got to Give It Up
When I First Saw You
What's Going On
Who Is To Blame
Inner City Blues

The Runaways - Cleveland - 1976

Here are The Runaways, recorded live on the 19th July 1976, at The Agora, Cleveland, USA.

Why have there never been more all girl rock'n'roll bands? I guess by virtue of when The Runaways formed, and their style of music, they are often linked with the new wave / punk scene, whatever category you feel obliged to stick then in, they play a pretty nifty show!

Song list is:

01 - California Paradise.
02 - Cherry Bomb.
03 - Take It Or Leave It.
04 - Secrets.
05 - You Drive Me Wild.
06 - C'Mon.
07 - Blackmail.
08 - Wild Thing.
09 - Don't Use Me.
10 - Rock And Roll.
11 - Is It Day Or Night.
12 - Johnny Guitar.
13 - Dead End Justice.
