3 CD Box Set of Cabaret Voltaire live recordings from 1982 and 1985. Live in Liverpool(1982),live in Sheffield(1982) and Live in Toronto(1985) . Cabaret Voltaire circa 1982 was kind of post Rough Trade,pre Some Bizarre / Virgin.Following on from and with the same line up as the successful dates in Japan(Tokyo,Osaka), resulting in the live album Hai, the 2 live recordings from 1982 on these CDs come from what was referred to as the 2x45 tour. The performances here are unique in that they show Cabaret Voltaire in a period of transition, following the departure of co founder Chris Watson, and had more studio recordings been made of this phase(see record 2 of 2x45) it could have well developed into something very different to the subsequent albums made during the Some Bizarre/Virgin period of 1983-1985. The recording from Toronto was the next to last date of a North American tour from April/May 1985. The Cabaret Voltaire live concerts of the 83-85 period were much more anarchic than the studio recordings and arguably just as interesting in their own way.
