Description:

Live for FM broadcast from the first US tour after the release of "Kaleidoscope", the album with new members and brushed up the musicality! Live performance with the most acclaimed members from the first US tour after the release of "Kaleidoscope" (1980), the biggest hit album of the band. The band was formed around Suzy Sue and Steven Severin, and Sid Vicious played drums at their first show before joining the Sex Pistols. The band gradually became the originators of positive punk and gothic rock. In the early days, the band members were not stable, and Robert Smith of The Cure joined the band as support, but from the third album "Kaleidoscope", Peter Edwards Clarke, who was in Slits at the time, and John McGaw, who played guitar in Magazine and Visage, joined the band on drums. John McGaw, who had been playing guitar in the bands Magazine and Visage, joined the band on drums. The lineup finally stabilized, and the band toured the U.S. for the first time with these members.This recording was broadcast by KUSF, the University of San Francisco's broadcasting station that helped popularize punk and thrash metal music, on November 26, 1980 at the California Hall in San Francisco, at the end of the "Kaleidoscope Tour" of 15 shows that began on November 13, 1980. KUSF, which is also known for its contribution to the promotion of punk and thrash metal music, broadcast the show. The band's musicality has been brushed up by the introduction of synthesizers and rhythm machines since "Kaleidoscope," but the individuality of each member's playing seems to stand out even more in the live performance. In particular, guitarist John McGaw is a player who had a great influence on the alternative music of the late 80s and 90s, and from this perspective, the show is very much worth listening to!
