This digitization MAY 2024, IN STEREO, and corrects the last version, which was MONO. Posted to the wonderful V-Wagon on November 1st, 2025. Flac files, plus a Boomtown Rats poster, newspaper ads, and an interview with Saint Bob.
A Flock of Seagulls were recorded on June 19, 1982 at Perkin's Palace, Pasadena.
I found that date on setlist.fm but ran searches to confirm it, and it's correct. Not only that, but they played three gigs in the Greater Los Angeles area:
June 19 (Saturday) Perkins Palace, Pasadena
June 20 (Sunday) Country Club, Reseda
June 21 (Monday) Laguna Hills Skate Park
Reseda is 26 miles west of Pasadena, Laguna Hills about 75 miles south, down in Orange County.
The Boomtown Rats show was recorded at Rissmiller's on October 24, 1982.
Note that the Discogs entry for IC 83-04 says it was at "The Country Club." Both names are correct. The club was also known as the Reseda Country Club, and Wolf & Rissmiller's Country Club. The print ad for the show proves they were going by the name of "Rissmiller's" at the time, so I'm going with the facts, man.
Other things to note... One of the Budweiser commercials is by A Flock of Seagulls. I finally decided the Budweiser "blues" version was Buddy Guy. The other remains unidentified.
Today's Lesson In Rock & Roll Geography:
From The LA Weekly:
"The Reseda Country Club, located on Sherman Way near Reseda Boulevard, has a rich history. Now a church, its notoriety lives on in the film Boogie Nights.
After starting as a Sav-On drug store in the 1950s, the club came together after renowned club owner Chuck Landis (The Roxy, Largo) saw an opportunity to expand into the Valley. When Reseda Country Club opened in 1980 it was billed as a space for country western music — that's where it got its name — but it was originally known for punk and new wave, and then rock and roll.
Celebrated promoter Jim Rissmiller managed the venue until 1984, bringing in top acts like B.B King, Iggy Pop, Roxy Music, Captain Beefheart, Slayer and James Brown. The 1,000 person capacity spot also saw Mick Jagger shoot several music videos there and MTV hold events including a New Year's Eve party and an awards show after-party concert by Prince.
The acoustics were highly praised, and the shows were often sold out. U2 had their first Los Angeles concert there, in March of 1981. But Rissmiller left after becoming depressed following business partner Steve Wolf's murder, leaving Landis to push on alone. He introduced more hard rock and metal acts, and the venue also became home to boxing matches half of the week, dividing its audience."
Outstanding share and research to boot! Cheers!
