Minds Music Monday – Manchester 28/11/1982

Posted on February 7, 2022October 3, 2023 By Priptona 1 Comment on Minds Music Monday – Manchester 28/11/1982

I listened to this over again early on Sunday morning. I love how clearly Jim’s voice comes across on this recording. I don’t know who was responsible for recording it? Frank, mabbies? Seeing as it’s a soundboard recording…? Dunno. But I am sssoooo very thankful it exists! I mean, Newcastle from the week before is great too! Both audio and video. And it’s great that we have the footage of them on The Tube as well, but I love having those contrasting things. Having several shows to listen to and reference compounds how truly great they were (still are, but you know what I mean) live.

Everything about what they are at this point is audible. And…here we go, brace yourselves! Jim… this mix, it’s like he’s singing right in your face. I’m laying in bed, earphones in and it’s just a swoonfest with this. He’s gorgeous. The whole New Gold Dream period is just… SUMPTUOUS!

Anyway, before I use every superlative in the English language and wax myself into a lyrical frenzy, I’ll go.

Happy Minds Music Monday, everyone!
