Rockpile - 1980-11-26 - The Ritz, NY (FM)

I saw Rockpile in July 1979, at Belmont Park Racetrack as part of a double bill with Blondie. Needless to say, the contrast between the regular track crowd, many cigar smoking, Oscar Madison types, and the new wavers in attendance for the concert was quite a site to behold,  Rockpile opened their set that day with the hoghly appropriate The Race Is On. I've also seen Nick Lowe solo, leading in for Tom Petty at the Byrne Arena in April 1983.  This FM Broadcast captures Rockpile just a about a year after I saw them live, at the Ritz in New York on November 26, 1980, 39 years ago today.
