Ha!  It was a pretty grim place back in 1986, and the fact that I was slightly damp from the rain didn't help...

Funnily enough I spent the same night at Reading station...

Not wishing to make your jealousy any worse... but yes, they were amazing.  The first one (at least in the UK) was the Reading Festival '86, which is available as an official release somewhere.  If you don't already have it, it's worth acquiring.  I taped it at the time on a massive ghetto blaster, and then spent the night sleeping in Reading station between a gang of bikers and a gang of football casuals, who seemed on the verge of WWIII.  I didn't actually sleep much.


Somewhere I have cassette bootlegs (not mine) of the Hammersmith Palais gigs from autumn / winter 96, which were also incredible.  (One of them had Big Black as an unannounced support band, and they were feckin amazing too.)  Aside from the Brighter material, the other tracks were absolute blinders as well (Requiem in particular was unbelievable - fast and furious) hence my comment about the line-up being at it peak then.

Ditto Adam, great bit of writing!
Btats holds a special place for me as and was the first tour I saw them live.
I also love the album. I think sometimes one needs to remember it was released in 1986, at the time it was fresh and contemporary.
3 tracks of the Cd version were initially B Sides (Victory, Goodbye and Exile)
While great songs, if you remove them the dynamic of the original album track list returns which was perfect.
Would love to hear some of these live again.

BTATS was actually the first KJ album I ever bought.  Based on my melancholy, gothy, wavey tastes, at the time, it was the perfect gateway drug for me that eventually led to my full on Joke addiction.  I still think the album holds up well..


Cheers,

They did a low key/secret gig at rock city nottz around June/July 86 before Reading festival (anyone got a recording of this?).  I also remember seeing them at Burton on Trent which also could have been before Reading and it was definitely before the full tour for the album. I made it to the Leeds and Manchester dates on that tour and also arrived at the venues for the nottz (2nd) & Birmingham gigs only for them to be cancelled - bastards

Only today I found out about these KJ songs... and, apart from Today is Forever, I didn't manage to find the others online and would very much like to listen to them...

Anyone?

thanks
