Avengers - Live shows pt.3 - 1978 (continued)

Here's three more Avengers shows from 1978. I only have these two songs from this Mab show and have never been able to track down the complete show. The Whiskey show is a little special because it has the rare songs Night Ride and Flames Of Evil plus an Eddie Cochran cover and also an extended jam on I Want In. The song Flames of Evil is the same music as the song on the Died For Your Sins CD titled Something's Wrong but with different lyrics. The Aito's show is also special because of some rare songs. On October 23, 1978 The Avengers were in the studio recording 4 songs with former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. Out of that collaboration The Avengers added two Steve Jones songs to their set - Second To None (recorded by The Professionals as 1,2,3) and Lonely Girl (recorded by Steve Jones and Paul Cook as Lonely Boy for The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle soundtrack). And, there is also the mystery track Promised Land. All three shows were recorded from the audience but the sound is good on all of them.

Avengers - Live shows pt.2 - 1978

 Four live Avengers shows here from the first half of 1978. All songs here have seen the light of day on various records and CDs apart from the cover of The Who's Substitute and a mystery song called Run. At the Winterland show they opened for The Sex Pistols and is a radio broadcast. The other three shows are audience recordings and are all good quality. The date or the venue on the fourth show is incorrect as it doesn't match with the Avengers gigography: http://www.penelope.net/avshows.html
But I'll list it as I received it.

The Winterland show can be listened to here in top quality with the complete last track: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/the-avengers/concerts/winterland-january-14-1978.html

Bags - Live Shows 1978-1979

The Bags from Los Angeles were around from 1977 to 1981 and in that time only released a single in 1978 on Dangerhouse Records and had one song on a Dangerhouse compilation LP besides making an appearance in the film The Decline Of Western Civilization in 1980. Until the All Bagged Up album was released in 2007 all the bags we had to listen to, besides the single, was just a couple of live tapes that made the rounds. The Masque show is the only complete set ever in circulation and it was recorded from the audience so the quality is rough but listenable especially for the unreleased songs. The Hong Kong Cafe show is much better in quality and a good listen but still recorded from the audience. The Troubadour show is off of a video and is rough also but still fun to listen to.
