Letch Actively - Charlotte, NC 1983

The Milestone
Charlotte, NC
Nov. 28, 1983

audience recording (sound quality VG+; it’s a club show, so you’ve got crowd noise, but it’s a problem only a few times)

BIG OL’ SLOPPY THANKS to the taper and to dB’s Fan for sharing.

HIGHLIGHTS: A strong and energetic show, with an interesting setlist. Includes older songs from before the IRS Records deal, songs that appeared on the Afoot EP, and songs from Cypress, the first full-length album (which would be released many months after this appearance).  
The comments about the band being photographed with puppies
can be traced back to this photo and the group’s first video.
Ya gotta admit, though — they’re all pretty darn cute

  2. I think I remember this show (once again, I had to work though). If so, this was one show in particular that I hated missing because in addition to "Letch Actively" , the "Right Profile" were the opening band.
    The Right Profile, btw released a 7'' ep produced by Mitch Easter. If interested, I'll send you a digital copy.

    Thanks for sharing this!

    1. As always, good to get your comment about this show, Warren. I know and love Right Profile (having seen them at a show once in their heyday). Will be posting something about them later this year.
