ROB SEZ: To the original share, I've added track 16, which came from a separate recording. Since the jam includes Peter H — and is from the same night, venue & show — I've included it for the sake of history. HUGE THANKS to the taper and uploader.

Peppermint Lounge, NYC — way back when
Uploader’s note: The Individuals opened. The Raybeats followed The dB's and played a very short 3-song set. The grand finale was, believe it or not, a jam session, with Peter joined onstage by various members of the Bush Tetras, Au Pairs, and Malaria. Included is Part 3 of the jam (first two parts are lost).

Peppermint Lounge, NYC 1985

The dB's axed Gene to play lead — and he said Yes

audience recording (sound quality VG+; very little in the way of distracting crowd noise and, other than a few anomalies in the first couple of numbers, this is a very listenable recording). Enjoy!

Highlights: Based on Peter's between-song comments, this show happened soon after Will Rigby's wedding, so extra friends and family from NC are in attendance at the Peppermint Lounge. Musically, we get to hear "Big Black Truck" and a seldom-performed cover of ELO's "Do Ya."  

BIG APPLE THANK-YOU to the taper and to dB’s Fan for sharing.
