The Teardrop Explodes Live at Left Bank, Mt. Vernon, NY, 03.07.81


Here's a treat I just stumbled upon - a 1981 FM radio broadcast of the Teardrop Explodes at the Left Bank in Mount Vernon, NY. As the uploader says, '...recorded on their first American trek. Kilimanjaro had been out for a good year or so, and as such many classics-to-be make an obligatory appearance in the set, but the Mt. Vernon crowd also got a preview of the band's next album, Wilder. "Treason," "Sleeping Gas," and "When I Dream" are all present and accounted for, and save for some slight radio static here and there the sound is impeccable.'
