According to Jon Savannah's web site Jonn played 2 shows with Bill on 1981-07-31 at The Whisky My tape says 1981-07-31 at The Roxy. The band played The Roxy on August 2.

This is my favorite period of Bill's work. His earlier band, Be Bop Deluxe, for some reason never melted my butter. Be-Bop Deluxe Bebop Deluxe It's rare that Bill Nelson shows up here. Hope you enjoy it.

THE SOUND:
not bad, not great, a little shrill

This was a quickly arranged tour.

A near capacity Retford audience showing some reverance to Mr.Nelson, so little or no talking when songs are being played. Bill makes reference to the disco which was on the floor below. The recording turned out very well considering the equipment of the time.

From the November 8, 1998 Bill Nelson Internet Chat, direct from Bill:
"I have a bootleg CD of Red Noise live which someone else has been selling illegally. I plan to release it as a proper live official release with some nice graphics and sleeve notes and I'll clean up and remaster the recording to make it as high quality as possible. The secret is to bootleg the bootleggers, but do it better."

If you've never heard this before your head may explode! This is a stellar (although incomplete) performance from Bill's Red Noise. Tape hiss is evident but takes nothing away from your listening pleasure!
