OMD at Bourse du Travail, Lyon 18th May 1983

A very good audience recording of the above show. It's rumoured that this show was also recorded by Radio-Bellevue FM but I have yet to find that source. Download is FLAC only.

    Thank you so much for those! For some reason R.Skinner's interview and Lyon's pt.2 does not proceed after you click Download! I hope it will be possible later as this is really brilliant valuable material!

    Thanks again!
    All the best,
    Alex

    Here's a request! I know there is a bootleg of 1983 Manchester Apollo,the show with the most OMD songs ever! I'd love to have it! Also it would be brilliant any 1983 show that includes ABC Auto Industry. Just so we have the whole DAZZLE SHIPS atmosphere!
    Thank you,
    Alex

    Hi Alex, I have had some issues with Mediafire but all should be resolved now so all the downloads should work. I have a Liverpool show from 1983 but not a Manchseter one. I will contact Mark C to see if he has it and if so upload it.

    Hi Alex, great blog. Sadly I am (very) out of date getting here. Is there any chance you could re-upload the files as all Mediafire links are now dead?
    I understand if you're too busy.
    Cheers anyway,
