Touring with Queen, ELO, Van Halen, recording Der Kommissar. After The Fire and my CS80 busy in 1982

1982 proved to be an incredibly busy year for After The Fire! As well as UK and European dates as a headline band we also went out on 3 major tours supporting ELO, Queen and Van Halen. In addition we recorded Der Kommissar and a version of Starflight as well demoing new songs for our next album. Sadly the latter never materialised as we fell apart as a band. With a bit of tweaking and lashings of reverb this collection eventually saw the light of day on 2006 on Angel Air Records. 00:00 Introduction 01:05 UK dates Jan 8th - Feb 6th 01:20 Touring with ELO in Europe - Feb 10th to March 5th 02:25 Pete King plays drums for ELO 02:50 Recording Der Kommissar 03:05 Recording Demos of new songs - AT2F 04:00 Introduction to 'Don't Say Goodbye' 04:43 CS-80 Instrumental and Dub Drum ending 05:38 Club Dates in Germany March - 7th to March 18th 06:11 Introduction to 'Step by Step' 07:11 Der Kommissar 12" Remix - May 2nd 07:45 Touring with Queen back in Europe - May 3rd to May 21st 08:11 Using year dates (1980-f and 1984-f) as song titles 09:05 Instrumental in 'It's Over' 10:30 US Tour with Van Halen - left UK July 12th returned Oct 16th 10:55 Rehearsals to improve our Stage Show 11:20 TV Show and gigs in Sweden 11:42 Dominion Theatre Tottenham Court Road - Dec 3rd 11:54 Dark Side / I'm Not an Angel - Café Musica cover version 13:25 Outro 13:35 Request for any Bootleg recordings from 1982? 14:50 1984-f Angel Air Records: http://www.angelair.co.uk/?tcp_product=after-the-fire-at2f Cafe Musica: https://www.cafemusica.co.uk/Record Filmed on a Canon EOS M50 and Apple iPhone SE Photographs Peter Banks, Charlotte Banks, Richard Dickins (http://radfoto.co.uk/) Buy me a coffee on Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/memorybanks Be very nice... and buy be another coffee (pretty please): https://www.buymeacoffee.com/memorybanks
