Show 6: Ultravox - Crystal Palace Bowl, London, UK, 13 June 1981



From the Crystal Palace Garden Party - what used to be an annual gig - held in south London. Not absolutely sure this is a complete set - I've seen some discussion that suggested they had Quiet Men and possibly Slow Motion in the set as well - but either way it is a pretty rare recording. Private Lives, taken from this set, was used as a b-side at 1 point, but the version here is from the same source as the rest of the show.

Some EQ'ing and a little repairing of the sound quality has worked wonders; hope you enjoy it!

*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.

  2. Summer 81, unlikely to have any Foxx material.

    1. I would have thought the same - unless this was a one off "festival" set (it wasn't part of a tour, after all).

  3. Hello! Is it possible to reupload this somehow somewhere? The link isn't working :(

    1. Just clicked it and it's working ok? Maybe a glitch?

  4. I was at that gig and I can absolutely confirm they played both Quiet Men and Slow Motion.
