Milestone, Charlotte, NC 1980 + bonus


The dB's
The Milestone
Charlotte, NC
Oct. 8, 1980

audience recording (sound quality VG). The mix comes & goes in the first two songs, so I cut & faded in both; otherwise smooth sailing for the rest of the show, with a good clear mix.
NOTE: last 3 tracks are from an early 1980s show in Atlanta, GA
 
Highlight: great high-energy show. You get the feeling the guys knew that punk bands also performed at The Milestone, and you can hear it in their playing. 
 
BIG THANKS to the taper and Batchain for the share!

A band you can really look up to...

  1. This is great and Thanks for sharing!
    The second Milestone show I attended was Chris Stamey performing around August of 1982, It was a weekday and I'm doubting that there were more than fifteen people in the audience. However, I do know that the show was taped. Should this show ever surface, I would be one very happy person!

    1. Warren - I don't know about that specific show, but you'll be glad to hear that I've just made contact with a North Carolina source of many rare, choice dB's & related shows. Some of them are Chris Stamey shows (including a complete show with band from 1982). If I discover the show you're asking about, I'll let you know...
