XTC - Victoria BC University, CANADA 1980 - Voodoo Wagon

 XTC

XTC - Live Victoria University, 
Farquhar Auditorium,
University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
March 2, 1980

and with a fine set from Voodoo Wagon this morning I am being really spoiled . . . . better than the other sets I have from this tour [eg the Ann Arbor set is much poorer vocally by comparison] tinker with your equaliser if you must ( I know I do!?)  This is Beatown!

Best live version of the first single [well EP] I ever bought by them of 'Danceband' best one EVER!

Check out 'Battery Brides' if nothinelse . . . being support I reckon they could spin out the set so this versions is HUGE and boy this is all XTC in their prime
