999: Live in Toronto, 1981 (FM Broadcast)



999 (more HERE) visited Toronto on the tour for their excellent album Concrete. After that things went off the rails for 999. While the band stuck together after the very, very  disappointing 13th Floor Madness it took them awhile to re-establish their sound. But back in '81 things were still whipping along just great, even with the band's penchant for novelty tunes:





This FM broadcast sounds crisp-as-hell and the performance is raging - it's the best of the 999 bootlegs I've heard.




999 fans,

  6. I remember hearing this live when it was broadcast. Unfortunately, my tape was pretty weak because I was 100 miles away, south of Buffalo.

  8. Always liked Concrete, but I agree that 13th Floor Madness was a let down. Face To Face is okay, but that's where I drew the line... there were just more important things to spend my money on.
