Elevated Living Live In Manchester, London And Spain

Description

Extravagance live from the post-punk "sound cathedrals" (© The Independent), The Cameleons with live sets recorded in the 80s on two CDs and a DVD. Featuring two live performances at the Hacienda and Camden Palace that have never been released on CD before, along with an earlier set from the Gallery Club. Plus a DVD with all three shows and an episode of the Catalan television program Arsenal dedicated to the band. Formed in Greater Manchester in 1981, The Chameleons were pioneers of post-punk, combining the shimmering, layered guitars of Reg Smithies and Dave Fielding, the tribal rhythms of drummer John Lever, and the driving bass and passionate vocals of Mark Burgess, with lyrics often reflecting the anxiety and alienation of the Thatcher era. "All the tribal percussion and jagged guitar bursts strive to frame vast views with one hand while clutching their foreign urban roots with the other." NME. The Chameleons are a recognized influence on future generations of indie and alternative rock bands, including Stone Roses, Oasis, The Charlatans, Smashing Pumpkins, The Flaming Lips, The Killers, The Horrors, The National, and Interpol. 'Elevated Living' includes their two famous Manchester shows, 'Live At The Gallery Club' (1982) and 'Live At The Hacienda' (1983), and their stunning filmed performance for ITV, 'Live At The Camden Palace' (1984) on CD and DVD. The latter two shows are presented on CD for the first time. The DVD also includes an episode of the Catalan television program Arsenal entirely dedicated to the band. Aired in January 1986, it mixes four tracks from a live show at Discoteca 666 in Barcelona from 1985 (also on CD) along with studio performances and interviews with singer/bassist Mark Burgess and drummer John Lever. The Gallery Club set features the rarities "Nathan's Phase" and "Things I Wished I'd Said," while The Hacienda includes early versions of "No One Is Safe Anywhere These Days" under the working title "Men Of Steel" and "Thursday's Child" as "Years Ago."
