Album Notes
The Alarm: Dave Sharp (vocals, guitar); Mike Peters (vocals, harmonica); Eddie MacDonald (vocals, bass); Nigel Twist (drums).
Recorded live at The Metro, Boston, Massachusetts in 1983. Includes liner notes by Dave Thompson.
KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR concerts tend to catch bands either at the beginnings or the ends of their careers. In the case of the Welsh rockers the Alarm, it was the former. Recorded in late 1983 at the Metro, a legendary club in Allston, Massachusetts, this set captures Mike Peters and crew just after their stint opening for U2--the group's obvious inspiration--on the WAR tour.
At the time, the Alarm's main feature, aside from their sky-high vintage '80s hair, was the fact that they were a strictly acoustic act who nonetheless rocked harder than many electric bands. Of course, the set features their three early standards, "Marching On," "68 Guns," and the Stephen King-inspired "The Stand," along with 11 other tracks and a revealing recent interview with Peters. The Alarm, surprisingly, never released a live album during their career, so this is a nice surprise for fans.

Editorial Reviews
3 stars (out of 5) - ...this intense gig proves that The Alarm really meant every word of their naive political sloganeering 15 years ago....suprisingly endearing...[shows] that there really was some musical depth...
