ROB SEZ: My hunch is Ricky Ross & Co. did some trawling through the archives a few years ago when they were putting together the deluxe reissues of their earlier albums, and found some gems. Here's one: a soundboard recording from the band's live tour after releasing Whatever You Say, Say Nothing — an under-appreciated album if I've ever heard one. By then, the band were being accused of artlessly apeing INXS & U2 — a shallow criticism that overlooked some fantastic songs & amazing live work. Enjoy.

Great share Rob as always.
ReplyDeleteDon't think they sounded like the 2 bands you mention.
Just people trying to pigeon hole them (mainly journalists).
Vastly under rated after there first 2 albums (written off by some),
Whatever You Say album has some great songs & it still spins occasionally in my CD player.
Best,
C.
I'm re-discovering the early albums and enjoying the newer ones, some of which I'm hearing for the first time. I think the last one, The Believers, is one of their very best.
DeleteGreat thanks, there can never be enough deacon blue out there, thanks for the ricky post also.
