Description
A super band by Johnny Thunders and Wayne Kramer, Gang War’s New Jersey performance recorded in excellent mono audience quality!~
A rare recording from Gang War, the super band formed by Johnny Thunders and Wayne Kramer! This live performance at Fast Lane in Asbury Park, New Jersey, on December 1, 1979, is a stunning mono audience recording! This recording was previously released on the same label, “Ramblin’ New Jersey 1979 (TOTH0751),” but this release has been digitally transferred and remastered from the master source. While mono, the vocals and other parts are well-balanced, and the latest transfer offers even clearer sound quality! (The previous day’s performance at the same venue can be heard on the same label’s previously released “FAST LANE 79 (TOTH2829).”) While Johnny’s performance can vary from day to day, he was in excellent condition on this day, just like the day before, and his chemistry with Wayne was outstanding! The two-set concert kicked off with the Dolls-era instrumental “Courageous Cat,” followed by Wayne’s original “I Still Hate,” featuring Johnny’s guitar grooving. Plus, they played a cover of Mose Allison’s “If You’re Going to the City,” a track only played a few times during Gang War! You’ll also hear rare tracks that Wayne would later release as a solo artist. The second set included the classic “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory,” and a rare version of “King of the Gypsies,” a rare Gang Wars-era original from Johnny’s 1983 cassette release “Too Much Junkie Business,” featuring Johnny’s narration inserted midway through. This is truly one of the greatest live performances ever!
