Sacramento, California 1988

Great show from the 'Imaginos' tour. Not the best but nevertheless a great soundboard with good overall quality. There's some different cover artwork available for this which I have absolutely no idea is the connection to the show or band, if anyone knows can they explain it to me please!!

Here it is.

The setlist would reamin the same for the next year or so it's a standard track listing with no suprises. The suprise on the tour was the band actually played a handful of tracks off the album 'Imaginos'.

 CD1.
1. R.U.Ready 2 Rock
2. Dominance & Submission
3. E.T.I.
4. I Am The One You Warned Me Of
5. Buck’s Boogie
6. Astronomy
7. Take Me Away
CD2
1. In The Presence Of Another World
2. Flaming Telepaths
3. Then Came The Last Days Of May
4. Cities On Flame
5. Joan Crawford
6. Burnin’ For You
7. This Ain’t The Summer Of Love
8. Golden Age Of Leather

(Don't fear) The Reaper is missed from this show.Not sure why.
So to make up for it....
Here is the introduction of the mini series by Stephen King. 'The Stand'
Featuring '(Don't fear) The reaper. This is how it was televised. It fits perfectly.

San Jose 1988

Recorded in San Jose in March 1988. The last Radio show before 'Imaginos' was released a few months after. Once again no cover was available so I decided to make my own. I do try to be varied when making them though :)
This is a pretty standard concert and  has great sound quality with a typical style greatest hits setlist. It's not the best out there by any means but it still rocks.

 
'Imaginos' would be released a few months after this show and that album has become a talking point for many years. I remember going to the store and seeing it sitting there inviting me in. The cover is taken from a still of 'Cliffe House' around 1900. The original photo is here..

 After talking with many people about this album over the years I've come to the conclusion that it's really either a 'Love it or loathe it' album. But if you don't like it...ssshhhh, cos you just may offend a lot of BOC fans. Personally I've always wanted to like it so much,I just don't feel it's a true BOC album. It's far too disjointed. Others will tell you it's the greatest concept album of all time.

There's only a few decent recordings of the subsequent 'Imaginos' tour from 1988/89.This one is perhaps the better of the 1988 shows but the 1989 shows do have better sound quality overall.
