Cardiacs
Roadhouse, Manchester
November 5th 1996

Newly remastered show from when the band was stripped down to a foursome:
Tim Smith - guitar and vocals
Jim Smith - bass and backing vocals
Jon Poole - guitar and backing vocals
Bob Leith - drums
So they were using a lot of triggered keyboard parts and sequencers.
I imagine the six piece line-up had been difficult in terms of income.
Good sound quality on this audience capture.
Highly recommended to all you Cardiacs fans out there.
'Is This the Life' never fails to stir great memories
of the Cardiacs gigs I was lucky enough to attend.
Roadhouse is no longer in business which is a shame
as this 200 capacity venue had some history.
Coldplay, Muse and the White Stripes all played Roadhouse in their early days.
Four members of Elbow served behind the bar
and are very possibly working during this recording.
Venue owner Kate Mountain has said that when Elbow were playing at the venue
it produced logistical challenges because it meant she had no staff.
