Live At Hammersmith Odeon 1978 [DVD] re-released 16th April 2012

Looks to be the same as it ever was, but if you heven't got it...

 

 

Filmed at London's legendary Hammersmith Odeon (now Apollo) in the summer of 1978, this concert film captures The Boomtown Rats just as they were breaking into the big league. Their second album A Tonic For The Troops had been released to great acclaim and considerable success but Rat Trap , the first New Wave No.1, although played at this concert, had yet to be released as a single. The show was filmed on one of two sell-out nights at the Odeon and is a brilliant snapshot of the Rats at this point in their career, the band are tight and energetic, the songs are strong and Geldof is revelling in his new found stardom as New Wave s ultimate frontman. To quote a fan interviewed at the start of the film it's just generally brilliant music .

Must have sold enough copies to justify a rerelease. It would have been nice if they had come up with some unseen footage or maybe one or two bits and pieces from the TFTT tour which would have meant suckers like us might have bough it for the third or fourth time. I certainly bought it twice on VHS and once on DVD.

Maybe the Rats live in Toyko might make a good DVD. Must be lurking in a vault somewhere. Could call it Thunder over Tokyo.

Why would Bob put his own solo music on a Rats live DVD?
