Newly discovered - Felt - Electric Ballroom - 19 Dec 1983

Newly discovered live tape of when Felt supported The Smiths at the Electric Ballroom - 6 years to the day before their final gig. Superb recording and performance - "Cathedral" is especially brilliant. Who is the philistine shouting "BORING"? lol

Thank you for this. I had forgotten all about this performance, which is excellent in every respect including the audio engineering, so all credit to the sound man. It was also interesting to hear me doing backing vocals on the chorus of Penelope Tree, as well as some lead flourishes, which I wrote especially for live performances of the song.

Very glad you enjoyed it. I'm amazed this hasn't been unearthed until now - it is definitely one of the best Felt live recordings I have heard - a true testament to a great studio and live band.

I knew this bootlag existed but didn't had any data.
So thanks for sharing!
