Mark Stewart & Maffia - Live at Kingston Polytechnic & Bristol (1982)

This was the first time I caught Mark after his Pop Group days apart from a couple of CND rallies in London where he performed Jerusalem accapella and this was certainly also the London(ish) debut of the Maffia. This was the Creation Rebel line up of the Maffia with Adrian Sherwood at the mixing desk and it goes without saying that this was Kingston upon Thames as opposed to Kingston JA. I was kindly invited by my friend Richard Thomas (ex Fall manager and current Laugharne Weekend promoter) to the gig, who had given me some time before a Townhouse Studio cassette dubbing of the tracks that would appear on his Jerusalem 12" as well as the New Age Steppers version of High Ideals so I knew what to expect. Not at all sure of the exact date of this but on November 12th 1982 Mark also played at Trinity Hall in Bristol so I'm guessing either side of then. I have never heard that Trinity Hall recording and would be grateful if anyone has it  to share

Repost 

...and a (partial) recording of a gig in Bristol from 1982 has come my way. Mark wishing the audience a merry christmas suggests it's not from November. Oh well...at least these two recordings of the Creation Rebel version of the Maffia exist     

Maffia/None Dare Call It Conspiracy/Liberty City/Don't You Ever Lay Down Your Arms

Mark Stewart and Algiers Talk Post-Punk, Past, Present and Future

You should try being in your early sixties

By age 30 (40) you should have a host of accumulated dental problems that years of low pay have meant you were unable to fix and a firm commitment to dental into medicare so no one else has to go through this

Throbbing Gristle: TGV (1979 - 2005)

Download

A fraction over 11 hours of live TG from the recording of Heathen Earth...
...to the implosion of the reunion gigs 

Do you need to view the later videos? No 

The view is that Gen was just doing it for the paycheck. 

The early footage however

I saw TG numerous times back then but the only gig I was at that is in the box is the last English gig pre the first split at The Lyceum.

That was interesting as it was by far the biggest venue that TG had performed in up to that point and well, something to me didn't compute, tho Cabaret Voltaire who also played that night  had no problem coming to grips with the larger venue 

TG?

With 41 years of hindsight  perhaps the (unannounced at the time ) split was beginning to show through the cracks. It was a Psychic Youth Rally after all.
