Flotsam & Jetsam: Hammersmith Odeon ’87. Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK. 06.03.87

 

Description

 

NOTE FROM TAPER: This was broadcast on rock broadcasting legend Tommy Vance's BBC Radio programme The Friday Rock Show. They opened for Megadeth, who were also broadcast, (and recently uploaded here, and after some checking, the offending tracks that were taken from the original post really WERE offending tracks, there had been a little confusion regarding dates and the like, but that came down to bad info on a wiki. Remember kids, not everything you read on the internet is factually correct, lol!).

Taped live from the radio by myself. I used to run the tuner on my Akai boombox through my Sony amp and record on a Marantz tapedeck, (I forget the models, although I still have and use my old Marantz turntable! They don't make 'em like that anymore...). Only a normal bias tape, as I was always pushed for cash....

 

The sound is pretty darn good! There's a little FM noise here and there, but nothing major. Newstead had of course left the band by this point, so you get interim bassist Michael Spencer instead, (Troy Gregory hadn't yet joined, and didn't stay too long. We talked to him before Prong played a few years ago in Newcastle, and he told us F'n'J were the biggest joke he'd ever played with, basically he called them all idiots! Either way, those 1st two LP's have a place in my heart...).
