The
Brewery
Raleigh,
NC
Dec.
31, 1986 into the wee hours of Jan. 1, 1987
audience
recording (sound quality VG+; a
well-balanced, solid-sounding recording).
BIG THANKS to TG for recording the show and SUPER DUPER THANKS to
dB’s Fan for the share!
Highlights: A fired-up dB’s play a rowdy New Year’s Eve
show — a perfect way to ring in any New Year. (Dig those nutty noisemakers!)
During the show, Peter announces (for the first time in public?) that I.R.S.
Records has signed The dB’s and that a new album will be recorded and released
in 1987.
