Show 48: The Human League - Kant Kino, Berlin - 23 November 1980



A show that proved very very popular on broadcast, and afterwards. There are very few quality live recordings of The Human League and almost nothing from their early days. This one in particular is one of those where the historical value of the gig makes it worth presenting, even if the sound quality is less than perfect. This took a lot of tweaking, to say the least - but its popularity I guess means that people enjoyed it! I think its the best you'll hear them from this time.

Please note that unfortunately the last encore track, Empire State Human, wasn't present in the files I received and is therefore missing from this set.

UPDATE 2018
While preparing this old show as separate files for a donator to the site, I found I could now improve the sound quality further, over what I’d originally done to the recording several years ago. You can now download this new version (as of 2018) HERE as 1 new 320kbps MP3 file.

If you would like to have separate tagged MP3s, or even lossless files in FLAC format of the new version, head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs.

  1. Why talk over the intro and outro?

    1. At the time this show was done, it was a weekly online radio show. Bad habit radio presenters have, I guess.

      Also means if anyone wants to rip it and sell it (which happens), they have to work for their shekels without advertising where they nicked my hard work from...
