DISCHARGE. Live The Music Machine. London 28.10.80

When I first heard 'Realities of War' back in 1980 it didn't do much for me, it wasn't until I went to see Discharge  live that their sound and stage presence smacked me with a sledgehammer. As usual I can't remember if the first time I saw them was on the 'Apocalypse Now' tour,  but the best gigs were the first two at 'Bowes' and one in Letchworth with Erazerhead and G.B.H.
They had such a great powerful new sound at the time and the first few releases are brilliant, real shame they went downhill and we began to see so many copy cat bands.
Anyway this is the best live recording I have and heard from Discharge, captures them in perfect form and still gives me goose bumps when I hear 'But After The Gig', Play it Loud !!
