1985 BROADCAST RECORDING FROM THE UK SUPERGROUP THE FIRM
Formed in 1984 by singer Paul Rodgers and guitarist Jimmy Page, The Firm became one of the most successful and popular rock supergroups of all time. During their time together, the band released two studio albums across the next couple of years; their self-titled debut in 1985, and Mean Business in ’86. The band also played some live dates in the UK at the end of 1984, and toured the US in both 1985 and 1986. One of the band’s best shows undertaken in America in 1985, was the concert they played at the Oakland Coliseum on 15th March 1985, when they put on an extraordinary show which was recorded for live FM Radio Broadcast along the West Coast, and which remains a quite staggering example of mid-1980s British rock music at its absolute finest. This entire broadcast is now available for the first time on vinyl this new two-instalment set, allowing fans to appreciate just how exhilarating this English Supergroup were when performing in a live setting.
