Bunky's, Madison, WI 1984


The dB's
Bunky’s
Madison, WI
December 2, 1984

audience recording (sound quality VG++; very good sound from first-generation tape source)

Highlight: if you enjoy covers, you will love this show — nearly a third of it consists of The dB's covering other groups' songs. And the performance is smokin'...

HIGH PRAISE for the taper and to dB’s Fan for sharing.

in the mid-1980s

INTERVIEWER:
Do you have any favorite covers The dB's played in concert or favorite memories of live shows?

WILL RIGBY:
There was this crazy night in Madison, Wisconsin. We’d been on tour for a long time, we were burned out, I don’t think there were very many people at the show. We just kind of said “F*#^+ it!” and started playing a lot of covers. That was the only time we played “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and a whole bunch of other covers. I forget what all we played.
