Listen To The Sirens: Santa Monica Civic Auditorium 9th March 1980

Welcome to 'Listen To The Sirens' a blog based site that aims to share some quality live Gary Numan recordings and Numan related artists. For a number of years I have run a similar site that is focused on The Stranglers (Aural Sculptors). This Numan based site, like the Stranglers one, is absolutely non-profit making. All recordings are shared freely for and by like minded fans. Similarly, no official material will appear on this site. Go and buy it/download it legitimately and support the artist.

Santa Monica Civic Auditorium 9th March 1980

No this gig has some significance for me. Not that I was there or anything like that. For a start I was 11 years of age and 5,500 miles distant from the gig. No, a version of this gig was to be the first vinyl bootleg I acquired. Entitled 'Transcript' it cost me £9 from 'Wax Factor' record shop in Brighton. £9 to me then was a Kings ransom! This is another version of the transcription disc broadcast on US radio back in the day.

Enjoy this slice of magic from Numan's first US tour.
