Let's Active - Winston-Salem 1985 (F.H. memorial)


Faye Hunter memorial post

Reynolds High School Auditorium
Winston-Salem, NC
Feb. 12, 1985
   
** RE-UP with NEW LINKS **

audience recording (sound quality VG; good-sounding show with virtually no distracting crowd noise; vocals sound a bit distant at times)

Highlight: it’s the ultimate hometown show & venue: Winston-Salem is where Mitch & Faye grew up and both are graduates of Reynolds High School.  

Feel the enthusiasm of the band and listen 
to the sound of the adoring crowd.

Mitch & Faye are in the middle — the two with “the hair”

EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS to dB’s Fan, not only for sharing yet another great show, but also for appreciating the special qualities that Faye Hunter brought to Let's Active. "It just wasn't the same after Faye left," he told me, echoing the sentiments of many fans.

An 8-part interview with the original L.A. lineup, after the release of the Afoot EP and before Cypress. (Mitch & Faye do most of the talking; about 19 mins.) Yet more thanks to dB's Fan for this one.
