The Boomtown Rats were still an opening act when this show was recorded at the legendary Roxy Theater in Los Angeles. The band played with more energy and enthusiasm than can found on either of their two Fox Theater 1979 shows.

Lead singer Bob Geldof sings with more vigor than youll hear on any of the bands records. In addition, the material during this five-song set is better than what the band released in subsequent years.

Opening with Rat Trap, Geldof snarls his lyrics, especially the line: Its a rat trap and youve been caught! The band then launches into Kicks, which clocks in at a tidy one-minute forty one seconds in true punk bravado. The highlight of the show, Joey, is next. It will remind you of early Springsteen, had he been born in Ireland instead of Long Branch, NJ.

Even though the Boomtown Rats never really took off in the States, they did have their pockets of devout fans. The West Coast and Manhattan seemed to be where they had the most support, and this show backs that up.
