Here's the Siouxsie set from the previous posts gig, a lot better quality but still an audience one. I love the really early 'S & T B' stuff and I knew somewhere lay this recording, the line up for this gig were,
Siouxsie Sioux - vocals
Steven Severin - Bass
John McKay - Guitar
Kenny Morris - Drums
John Mckay had only just joined replacing Pete Fenton, it's a great set, I also have their first performance at the 100 Club, Punk Festival 1976 if anyone is interested, it's an okay recording but well worth a listen!!

As I mentioned this is a very rough recording so be warned but it is a classic bit of Ant history for die hard fans. I found this at the end of another live tape, tried to make it sound better but no luck! This is the earliest live recording I know from them.
If anyone has a better version please share it or even any earlier goodies ?

One of Scotlands best Ska bands in my opion, as quoted by 'Buster Bloodvessel' and the few times I saw them I would agree. I was first introduced to Capone & The Bullets at a rally in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow and at that time there seemed to be loads of band members but then the next time I saw them at the Apollo they had just 5 I think ? The main driving force behind the band has always been front man and trumpeter Chaz Fraser, this cassette was given to me back in 1992 by one of the band members and it's a cracking soundboard recording, tight,energetic ska at it's best. I don't know if Chaz is still doing his thing, I hope so, because they were brilliant !!
Ps I also have this in flac is anyone wants ??

You don't come across many DFH's live recording and not many as good as this one, it's a belter . Again I have been given very kind permission to post this but only in FLAC format which I will. A massive thanks to 'Dutch Punk' for this, one of the most hits this blog gets is for the DFH's Manchester gig so here's another. Can anyone help 'DP' who is looking for a copy of A Dog Faced Hermans, VHS compilation from 1996 made by 'Unbend Films' if anyone can help please get in contact ! This is a
soundboard recording done with the kind permission of Marion plus the kind help of the soundboard engineer who pushed some buttons to make this sound great!!
Dog Faced Hermans went together with De Kift on a short dutch tour in Holland
as a warm-up for the US tour later that year, great set, and great mix of old and new song. Cheers again Dutch Punk for this I really appreciate it and hope I can return the favour in tracking down that VHS for you.
Dog Faced Hermans were Colin : Bass
Andy : Guitar
Will : Drums, Percussion
Marion : Vocals, Trumpet, Bells
Gert-Jan : Sound-Engineer

Another unexpected, very kindly sent, gig from Adam Ant and friends which was performed as a tribute to 'Matthew Ashman' who sadly died on this date in 1995 at the young age of 35, his death was due to diabetes related complications, a great loss !!!
This is a perfect audience recording and has most of the songs I loved from The Ants, the band sound fuckin' brilliant as does Adam, nearest he's sounded to the old days! I also found this review of the gig at The Scala London so read away and enjoy, I found at the end of one of me tapes an Ants gig from 1977 at The Vortex which I've been humming and harring about posting as the quality is rough, but it's a piece of classic history, do you want it???

What can you say about Dick Lucas and his bands, ever since The Subhumans I've enjoyed everything himself and Jasper etc have done. I have quite a few Subhumans tapes to do so I wont rant on about them too much. I saw Citizen Fish a couple of times with Trotsky on drums etc and I see they are still producing Lps and touring like mad but Its Just Jasper and Dick being original members, click on the name and check out the web site for more info and goodies.
This is an excellent audience recording as I remember them, I have quite a few more for later posts so keep watching and tell your friends!!

Had quite a few people asking for more early Ant recordings so decided I will put all of them up here slowly, some are classics that have been floating around for a while and some not too familiar ones. If any one has anymore live, demos please share them with us, I'd love to get hold of the early demos that aren't in circulation? I always found it hard to get decent live Adam & The Ants recordings and people weren't willing to give them up that easily un all, but I'm gonna give mine up so I hope folk find it in themselves to do the same and get a great log of history here for people to remember ! If you only have tapes of gigs give me a shout and I will convert them for you and of course return the tape ! It's late so I will keep me nonsense short ! As ever enjoy.
Oh yeh this is one of the better recordings with two of me all time favs , 'Letter To Jordon' & 'Whip In My Valise !!!
