Boom Crash Opera - live on Rock Arena, 1985

Back in the day Rock Arena on Channel 2 would periodically broadcast bands playing live in the ABC Studio in front of an audience. One such broadcast in 1985 was Boom Crash Opera, then a new and unsigned act. Watching at 10:30 pm on a Tuesday night, teenage me was most impressed indeed - you generally don't see something this polished from a new band! I was instantly hooked and became a lifelong fan. Tracks present: 00:00 Hold Me Down 03:37 Rocks Are In My Head 08:08 Too Hot To Think 12:47 Axe To Grind 19:25 The Face That I'm Living In 23:17 Gap That Opened 27:49 Floppy Man Stand Up A pretty good representation of early Boom Crash Opera setlists when they were still doing covers of Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up" and Creedence Clearwater Revivial's "Ramble Tamble". I know the band performed more songs than this, but I don't remember whether any more went to air. These seven tracks (broadcast in mono and lifted from a dodgy old VHS tape) are all I have. It's a crying shame they've not been available on YouTube previously. I don't own these recordings, and have uploaded them purely for historical interest (and for fans of the band). If anyone would like them taken down, please let me know.
