Recorded in London (November, 1981), Bremen (July, 1982) and Athens (September, 1982) and finally compiled and released in 1999. Live 81-82 is the band’s sanctioned live document as opposed to the unauthorised ‘It’s Still Living”.
It covers most of the band’s key cuts and adds a combustible version of The Stooges’ ‘Fun House’ featuring Jim Thirwell on saxophone.
The band comprised singer-songwriter Nick Cave; multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Mick
Harvey; singer, songwriter and guitarist Rowland S.Howard; bass player Tracy Pew and
drummer Phill Calvert.
An essential record, Live 81-82 stitches together tracks from a London date in 1981, a
German show in Bremen in 1982 and an absolute gem cut from a show in Athens, Greece
(a version of the Stooges’ classic ‘Funhouse’).
