The Steeltown live album we always hoped for but never got.

Live from Glasgow's Apollo Theatre on the second leg of the Steeltown Tour, December 21, 1984.

Pieced together using a couple of sources, this is the complete concert featuring ten pro-recorded tracks and the balance from an excellent quality audience recording.

There are highlights aplenty: East of Eden's extended intro, Flame of the West's unique extended outro, Come Back to Me's extended outro (these extended version were only ever played this way on this tour) - Lost Patrol sitting earlier in the set than it ever had or would again, a monumental e-bow intro to The Storm and just a terrific blend of the first two albums. Throw in a parochial Scottish crowd and you have one fantastic live album.

Hope this is something you'll enjoy. If you saw Big Country on the very short lived Steeltown Tour, leave a comment!

As always, Stay Alive!
