06 Going Up With My Girl
07 Brainwashed
08 Giving It All

11 Anytime at All*

20/20:
Steve Allen - guitar, vocals
Ron Flynt - bass, vocals
Mike Gallo - drums

*Phil Seymour joins the band for encore songs 

This is 20/20's complete set. The exact date might be Nov. 5, 1978, a show at which 20/20 shared the bill with The Last. The original sharer said: “Band as three-piece before being signed to Portrait Records. This is when the band was an unfiltered, terrific unit.”

MEGA THANKS to h1w1p & PowerPopTart for sharing.

  1. I've heard some of these in fair quality, but the music itself is top notch. Look forward to hearing some of the unheard ones here. I don't know about you, but their first and third full length, I liked better than than their "Look Out." Great posting and Thanks!

    1. I should give those albums another listen. Not a true fan, but I still enjoy some of their tunes...

  2. I love all 5 of their albums, but personally, Look Out was their best.
