Show 131 - Talk Talk - Live At The Paris Theatre, London - Early 1982



FREE DOWNLOAD OF SEPARATED, TAGGED MP3s

Exactly a year since we returned from a Winter break with a new season of shows, we return with a special commemoration to mark the sad passing of Mark Hollis this week, the singer and creative force behind the band Talk Talk who tragically died after a short illness aged 64.

By way of a tribute, we've remastered this short set broadcast on 10 April 1982. This is a lively, if short set from the original four piece lineup of Talk Talk, showcasing songs from their 1st album, The Party's Over. The original recording I had access to was very bass heavy - so much work was done reducing that; so you can turn this up a bit without hurting your ears! It now sounds clear and punchy, with all vocals and instruments being heard.

To avoid any accusations of cashing in on the sad death of Mark Hollis, this show is available for free as separated, tagged 320kbps MP3s in a zip, here - no donation required for this one.

If you still wish to just download the show as the usual regular free single 320kbps MP3 file, you can do so here.

    Thank you so much for this! Do you happen to know on which date it was recorded? I found a concert at Paris Theatre on YouTube with a different set list. And it's titeled 19th April 1982. Regards, Tonia

      Hi Tonia. Glad you enjoyed this one! Yes, I've just found that one too. The files I had were marked "Radio 1 In concert 1982 (April 10th, 1982)" - but I took that to mean the broadcast date (shows at the Paris Theatre were all for the BBC as you probably know) so could have been recorded 1 or 2 months prior. That one on YT sounds quite different - and as you say, different set. Not many relevant google results but 1 from the BBC in 2011 backs up that this was the setlist from the BBC broadcast. Maybe the YT one is from a different venue? Wouldn't be the first live bootleg to be labeled wrongly. Thanks for listening! :)
