Big Country - Glasgow Apollo - Dec 21, 1984 (complete)

The Steeltown live album we always hoped for but never got.

Live from Glasgow's Apollo Theatre on the second leg of the Steeltown Tour, December 21, 1984.

Pieced together using a couple of sources, this is the complete concert featuring ten pro-recorded tracks and the balance from an excellent quality audience recording.

There are highlights aplenty: East of Eden's extended intro, Flame of the West's unique extended outro, Come Back to Me's extended outro (these extended version were only ever played this way on this tour) - Lost Patrol sitting earlier in the set than it ever had or would again, a monumental e-bow intro to The Storm and just a terrific blend of the first two albums. Throw in a parochial Scottish crowd and you have one fantastic live album.
