Atlanta 688 Club 1982. Wall Of Voodoo with Stan Ridgway plays the title track from their masterpiece album "Call Of The West". Vid is little dark at first but then lights up good. A great performance clip from the good old days.

(con't) was simply incredible. Like him or not, Stan Ridgway is the consummate performer on stage and every song off Call of the West sounded exactly like it did 25 years earlier when I saw them at Club 688. Of course I would have preferred it if Marc Moreland was hitting those licks on his Gibson Flying Vee and Joe Nanini was handling percussion. .but in fairness, the band did the work justice. As noted, egos and internal woes split great bands and the Wall of Voo Doo was going to be huge.

RIP Marc and Joe.. its such a shame that Stan and the boyz couldnt arrainge a get together to rehearse for a tour after the passing of Marc and Joe; they derseved a reunited tour with Bruce, Chas, Ned, and even Andy.. ; suck up the egos; do it for the lost members and the fans..they would make millions.. they are the best and my favorite of all time.. i miss them so much..

What a great band. Unique sound and lyrics that capture modern commercial alienation. While I wish they had gone on and on, I think Call of the West was a great album to end their life as a band. One of the best.

God, I was a huge fan of this band in the 80s but never got to see them live. It's great to hear this stuff again. I owned "Call of the West" on vinyl. Remember vinyl? Wow.

I saw this show at Club 688 in Atlanta and again 25 years later when Stan took his "regular" band back on the road for the "reunion tour of Call of the West". Even though Mark,Joe and Chas weren't at the latter, Stan still performed virtually that entire album juat as spectacularly as they did in '82. It was bittersweet. I love that album and consider this song perfect with some of the best lyrics ever written . Internal politics killed that band. Certainly on the verge of superstardom.

THere are no better songs of the broken promise of the West than "Call of the West" and "Welcome to the boom town".
