Leeds, Corn Exchange 5.1977

This ist the first Show of the Band. When Gang of Four used Pledge to raise money for the Content-Album in 2010 they published this:

“Leeds was quite hardcore back then, in many different ways. We lived in places that were cold and wet….. and you’d go out on the streets….. we’ve got photos that Andy Corrigan took where it does sort of look like the Battle of the Somme….. the streets were sort of churned up….. that’s how I remember it. We did our first gig at Leeds Corn Exchange in May ‘77 and a lot of the songs that we did there were just things that Jon and I did kind of while mucking about. Just things that sort of amused us, and being art students you’re not exactly the busiest of people so….. I’d hit a guitar and we’d come up with words. Some of them were just not that serious. Jon found the cassette of that first gig which is quite interesting….. and we thought we probably couldn’t just put it in a cassette player as it might just fall to pieces, so we took it to someone who knew what they were doing and they transferred it onto digital. It’s interesting when you listen to it….. the guitar is doing a lot of quite, almost poppy chords. When we played the gig everybody was pressing up close around us, there was no stage, we were just in the corner of the room. It was exciting.”
