HUSKER DU - Koeln (Cologne), Luxor, 1986, 1st gen audience
Note: I have this tape for a very long time. Got it from a guy, who didn`t care about labelling his tapes, but he said that it is Cologne from 1986. Thirdave has it`s doubts about it. BUT there are some facts, which let me think that this is the cologne show from 1986:
- Bob Mould said in interviews that he gave in 2005 and 2008 in Cologne, that he remembers an intense Husker Du show in this club (Luxor). He said, that the police had stopped the show `cause they were too loud.
- It`s DEFINATELY a german show from 1986 `cause you can hear some german talking on the recording (2 times...a few seconds)
- The description that Bob gave of this show fits exactly: It`s fast, intense, rowdy and they seemed to be in a very good mood. There`s a jam after "What`s going on", which is incredible ! You can hear - they WERE in a good mood.
I haven`t traded this tapes `cause of thirdave`s doubts, but know I`m pretty sure that this show is the legendary Cologne show from 1986. So this is pretty much an uncirculated show (nearly)
The sound of the recording is like the 1983 shows here on dime. Most of them were labelled as B quality. I`d give this one a "B", too.
Anyway... I love this show for some reason. Maybe you do, too.
