The Soundtrack4Life Concert Series: The Undertones - Essen, Germany 1981

The first in a series of concerts on the blog and we kick off with a performance from 17th October 1981... It's The Undertones.

Earlier in the year (April) before the release of their third album Positive Touch, The Undertones undertook a 36 date tour of the UK mainland called The Positive Touch Tour starting at The Apollo Glasgow on 25th April and ending at Exeter University on the 26th June 1981.

On 29th September they began a European tour of 19 dates that would span six countries (Austria, France, Germany, Belguim, Holland and Sweden). 

This show was recorded in Essen for the top German TV music programme Rockpalast. The quality of the video is not the best quality having been a copy of a copy but the sound quality is pretty okay considering it's thirty four years old.
