Oh my god this is awesome! I always loved this song and it disappointed me that he never really did it live. Thanks for posting this!

Omg you are my hero for this. I remember seeing the Exhibition tour and this wasnt played on the show I witnessed, but now it just kills me to hear this. i wanted to hear this so bad and now I finally get it.

Thanks

Holy shit, I didn't think this was even in existance. Great quality, and great performance

Wow I remember you telling me about this, never listened to it until now. This is a trip.

[PatrickIngham21]

yep it is awsomely rare, so glad someone recorded it!

[DJimGilroy]

Thanks for posting this. I remember being disappointed him not playing it at the second to last show of the tour in Manchester. Especially when fellow numanoids told me about it.

And also that he didnt do it for the live recording for Ghost the following nights in London.

The Exhibition Tour seemd like a disappointing pre Metal Rhythm filler to me looking back.

the exhibition tour was just a best of tour as hed just released a greatest hits.

This is very rare, I can't beleive you even found this.

[themachman19691]

ye he did it in liverpool but not in newcastle..sure he done war song instead.thanks for posting.

[DJimGilroy]

I dont remember War Songs on The Exhibition Tour ;)

Last time he played that live was on The Warriors Tour in '83 ?

[themachman19691]

he never played war song on the warriors tour..well not in deeside,london or manchester as i went to those and yeah he did war song at newcastle on this tour as ive just found the bootleg tape of it

[DJimGilroy]

That'd be interesting to hear!

I'll have to check out my old bootleg tapes. Its been a while.

Ive got two from Warriors Tour (one short and one long) and one from the US I Assassin club tour.

Oh to go back to those days eh?!

[themachman19691]

oh yes.i used to have a us bootleg of his 82 tour and loved it.

[PatrickIngham21]

Hi, he did indeed do war songs on the warriors tour, i have a bootleg of it, i think from glasgow. He also did war songs on the sacrifice tour!, i will post them all up on here sometime :)
