Let's Active - Writing The Book Of Last Pages

[drummerpop]

Can anyone list the members of the band?

[nevermorefarm]

I don't believe I've found this. I used to play this song when I was a DJ at my college radio station. I always loved this track and figured that I'd never hear it after the day my cassette tape fried.

I was at that show at St. Andrews. I think they covered Hush as an encore.

saw them at UVA U-Hall Charlottesville1987 as opening band for REM. Been a big fan every since. Thanks for Posting!!!!

[Berus777]

True: Let's Active were actually a better group than REM.

[kpm1969]

Great song, and nice reference to The Windbreakers!

MITCH!

[TimmytheGeek2009]

love it. my favorite concert memory is Let's Active and REM in Oct 1983 at the Rutgers pub in NJ. Sweet.

[oneslickjackrabbit]

Completely floored me! Considering how deeply produced all his albums are, this translates brilliantly to live! Don't know how you found it, just that you have my infinite appreciation!

Best. Pages. Ever.

Saw them at the 8x10 in Baltimore in the '80s - I remember Mitch kept getting shocked by his guitar. Thanks for posting.

[hellotheiru]

You are probably referring to a show at Girards in Baltimore. That is where he got shocked. Tommy Keane and "Me and Dixon" opened the show.

[trailgoat]

This is so good! Saw 'em at St. Andrews in Detroit on Halloween 1987ish. The entire band came out on stage with masks---wolf head, rabbit, squirrel---it was brilliant. Fantastic live band and Mitch Easter is an absolute genius. While Cypress is my favorite LP, there later stuff is still wonderful. Thanks for posting this.

[findeerror]

I was there, too! This brings me back...

Mitch is a killer guitarist.

[Darthmusic]

Dude! The guy at the beggining needs to shut up!

[crimsonwhite1]

Let's Active were great. Memories....I tripped at their 1987 concert in Durham, NC.

[marker011]

Thanks for posting all the Let's Active footage. Much appreciated.

[JANGLEPOP1]

The "Genius" live. Thanks for posting as I missed it again on OGWT. Mitch has so much talent at his disposal, he is greedy!
