Gang of Four - At the Palace (1984)

Yeah, this is after Allen & Burnham left, and where the original material dropped off in quality post-Solid Gold, and their "farewell tour", but even with that, they were a formidable live act, and Sara Lee & Steve Goulding were a solid rhythm section.

Boy, I miss Gill's incredibly distinctive guitar work.

#GangofFour’s 77-81 box set wasn't just a reissue—it was a reclamation. #JonKing tells me how the band legally took back their catalog, fought fascists at their own gigs, and helped invent punk funk that still echoes through artists like Run the Jewels.

“We were always focused. Foot on the gas. Never stop.”
