RIP Michael Been

I wanted to share this link I found with all the TB'rs interested in Michael and the Call's music. The show I am including in this post was recorded in 1986 at New York’s famed Ritz Club and features material from their first three albums, with a good chunk from Reconciled. Charlie Burchill from Simple Minds joins the band for “The Walls Came Down.” You can also hear 5 extra tracks from this show found on the original multitrack tapes that were not included in the radio broadcast here on Wolfgang’s Vault’s Concert Vault.

I know this show was also filmed and some low grade footage can be seen on You Tube. Hopefully, the original footage will see the editing and remastering it deserves someday and we will all be able to see it in our homes.

Long live the Call and Michael's memory.

@Bob Moulton
OK, I know this is 10 years old, but is there any chance that show is available elsewhere? (link is dead)

I bought myself the DVD+CD set of the concert that Michael's son Robert did with The Call on 4/19/2013 for Christmas... I didn't know this show happened, until I found a video on YouTube. Would love to see/hear the show you linked above.

Sorry @Queue they must have taken it down. Hopefully, it will pop back up somewhere. If it does I'll be sure to share.

Thanks Bob!

I got a chance to watch part of the Memorial Concert(s) DVD. First glance of the song menu was a letdown, until I found the 4 extra songs/videos that included some of their standout songs/my favorites. (e.g. Let the Day Begin)

I'll be exploring some of the deeper cuts, just to see what I've been missing.
