Atlanta 688 Club 1982. Wall Of Voodoo with Stan Ridgway plays the title track from their masterpiece album "Call Of The West". Vid is little dark at first but then lights up good. A great performance clip from the good old days.

  • Stan Ridgeway's singing voice is both ethereal and iconic. I'm really surprised that he didn't reach bigger critical success in the 80s. Although I've always liked his work, he was definitely ignored by the masses.

  • The more I listen to Wall of Voodoo the more I realize and appreciate the genuis of Marc Moreland. Almost single handedly he created the band's unique sound. I've never heard anyone come close what he did on the Call of the West album.

  • RIP Marc Moreland. You were such a gifted, unique guitarist.

  • Its immediately clear this is amazing, the writer/singer is absolutely into the theme/feel of the material.

  • Great Band! Stan Ridgway has a special voice.

    Thanks for posting this rare concert!

  • I was 13 years old in 1982. Damn.

  • quite simply this album is the greatest story told of american white collar / trailer trash life. from the monotony of life in the factory, the hopelessness of lost weekend where the greatest hope they have is appearing in a quiz show to cleaning pools. Then with the realisation of despair and hopelessness. the flight to the america of old.. where anyone could make it.. when in doubt and in need... heed the call and head west
