ROB SEZ: A very busy week for me, so I'm relying on the old ASH blog archives for material. As usual, I am greatly indebted to Don. When this one was first posted, Don wrote, "There's an absolute cracker with the Impossible Birds from Malmo, Sweden in 1985 with both him and Paul Carrack on top form. Then to stretch it out, we venture to San Diego State University for more Nicholas joy."

Paul Carrack & Nick Lowe - Kansas City 1982 (soundboard)

Uptown Theatre

October 29, 1982

soundboard (quality VG++; good, full sound for a source tape of this era)

That's Paul on the left and Nick, 4th from left. This is Nick's "Noise to Go" band.

These are well-written, well-sung, and very well-performed tunes from around the same time The dB’s were hitting their stride. If you usually enjoy the stuff I post, give this one a listen and leave a comment letting me know what you think.

At the time of this tour, Paul Carrack had released his best solo album, Suburban Voodoo and Nick Lowe released his well-received Nick the Knife. As evidenced by this show, a combo tour turned out to be a really good idea.
