Life Performances
Still heavily a work in progress...thanks to Dec Hickey, Josef K, Paul Meldon and Mark Buckwalter for the info so far...
1983-xx-xx Fridge - Brixton
One track ("Touch The Sky") has surfaced from this show, taken from the mixing board.
The date could be Dec 10th, as somebody who had recorded their show (the tape has now been
lost sadly) said they opened for New Order, but since NO wasn't known to have played the
Fridge, he may have crossed them up with the Wake, who did play on that date.
1984-05-14 Royal Festival Hall - London (w/ New Order, John Cooper Clark, and Keith Allen
Miners benefit. Amazingly, given the nearly dozen or so rcordings of New Order, that
none have surfaced for Life.
