SHORT RADIO TAPE (36:36 min.)

Ok, here's a strange tape. The infos on the tapeinsert, noted this as "Gothenburg, 1987-08-21", but it is not. First I thought, wow, an FM excerpt from that show. But my hopes were destroyed when I noticed some german language chatters at the end of Track #03, where Michael Gira tried to explain the crowd, that this is no PUNKROCK concert! Bummer! I'm also not really good on swedish language to understand the radio announcer's comments, but at least I think these songs are pulled from shows at Frankfurt, Germany and
the EUROCK FESTIVAL in Alsdorf/near Aachen, Germany. Back in the daze of tapes (I mean cassettes), this would've made a fine companion to each full recorded Swans show. Today, I'll give you this as a companion to the other fine audience recorded shows for your internal/external harddrive. Anyway, it's not really satisfying to me posting a truncated/mixed set of songs here, but the sound is too good to be shelved away forever. Hope you understand, and hope you enjoy this rather short posting. SB.

EDIT/CORRECTION;
The FM broadcast was part of a radioshow called Bommen on Swedish national radio ( running between 1985-1992). The show was probably a special on German music and had nothing to do with the Swans broadcast.

The Bommen show had one hour of music
and interviews, record reviews.. and half an hour of live concerts recorded by Bommen.

The Swans show is from Gothenburg.

The male annuncer is Lars Aldman ( very influential in getting alternative acts like Nick Cave, Swans, Sonic youth and countless others known in Sweden)

Lars is giving a brief background of Swans part in the No wave movement and says
that Swans sound are mystery religious, more so now than before with the acoustic instruments.
