Ultravox - Detroit Michigan. March 8, 1979 + KROQ Interview 16/03/79

The fifth and final Ultravox live gig from their final 1979 (US) tour. This one also includes a radio interview with the band. Kindly donated again by John Headland, so you can also find a FLAC rip over at Dime.

Not one of the best recordings but it's definitely listenable. The interview starts very quiet (even the DJ says so), so stick with it.

The set list is now a familiar one, but if you love Ultravox, you're want it.

So that's me cleaned out for Ultravox stuff, although there is some John Foxx bootlegs to come.

If you like this, and you don't already own these, then go and buy them now, and even if like me, you already own them, you will find that the new releases below, each have four new tracks (how many versions am I going to buy? it will be the box set next):
Ultravox!
Ha-Ha-Ha
Systems Of Romance

Thank you - I'd really appreciate it. WinZip reports an error when it gets to track 8 in the first zipfile. I tried downloading both the zips again - not really sure why nobody else has encountered this, though! Cheers - Pete Rooney

Hi Arstider and Pete, great.

These download sites are a little ropey but as everything is free, we can't really complain, can we. :-)

All the best

Wanted to say thanks for posting the interview on KROQ. I knew it existed, but haven't been able to get a copy until know.

Fills in some detail about the Foxx-fated American tour which I have been researching for a couple of years.

What I love about the internet is finding things like that, then going off and verifying it all with local press cuttings and photos etc.

Thanks for sharing.
