We’ve followed Mission of Burma, version 2.0, for almost twice as long as the original run of the band in the early 80s. The most consistent element of their live show has always been the ferocity of the performance. The band plays live with the kind of kinetic energy that defines their sound, and provides earth shattering volume to prove the point. The other aspect MOB’s live show is that the setlists are always quite divergent. The Bell House recording posted last night by acidjack is an entirely different show than what we experienced Friday night at Maxwell’s. Now performing live material for what will soon become their fourth post-reunion album, the band is operating on all cylinders. Each of the three stage players offer new songs that rival the quality of their career output and Friday night’s show featured a healthy dose of them. One might expect that the packed house would become impatient with the mid-set big block of new material, but in fact the mixed-age crowd seemed equally enthralled throughout the show. Mission of Burma rewarded them with a lightning-speed foursome of classics in the encore slot that closed with a reverse play of their debut single — “Max Ernst” into “Academy Fight Song” (streaming below). When the band left the stage the cries for “more” lasted for a good ten minutes before the house music came up — one of the most prolonged crowd calls we’ve seen in a while, and well deserved.

I recorded this set in the same location as all of our recordings from this outstanding venue and the sound quality is superb. Enjoy!

    Like you say,the setlists always change, so you’re doing all of us Burma fans a great service by posting these amazing sets. Cheers!

    Just by coincidence, I put up a video of Burma playing with a couple of members of Rachels at the ATP in Camber Sands UK in 2002 on YouTube.
    Quality is nowhere near your standard, but at the very least it’s an interesting curio from the initial stage of Burma’s return.

    Thanks! One of my favorite Burma shows of all time. The Setup into Nancy Reagan’s Head was unbelievable. Thanks man.

    Track 13 (new song) is “7’s”, or at least that’s what’s showing up on set lists.
