The Durutti Column - Royal Northern College of Music - c. 1990

A couple of really great performances from Vini & Bruce at a concert which I think was only ever put out in the middle of the night. I'm afraid it has a hum throughout which I think was on the original broadcast, but I think it's still worth it. This is very true to DC performances from the time.
The broadcast was from very early in the era of night time TV and there used to be these very long periods with nothing except a test card. I've left a few seconds of that at the start for nostalgia's sake.
Track list:
1. What is it to me (Woman)
2. Jacqueline
3. Finding the Sea (version)
4. Opera II
5. The Missing Boy
My brother and I were at the original concert (and got to meet Tony Wilson!). It looked like this was being filmed on proper film cameras and it was a great set, so hopefully it will all come out some day at better quality.
Oh - Enjoy the funky letterboxing.

It’s weird to think that ITV once broadcast Durutti Column gigs after midnight, instead of TV shopping

[@whatamalike]

Yep. Absolute monoculture now. Then again, we didn't get anything nearly this good in Yorkshire at the time I don't think.
