''Live at the Bradford'' is the official video of the two farewell shows of post-punk group Mission of Burma held at the Bradford Hotel in 1983. ==Background== In 1983, the post-punk band Mission of Burma performed two farewell shows at the Bradford Hotel in Boston. The band was calling it quits due to guitarist Roger Miller's worsening tinnitus (ringing in the ears). As the only official video from Burma's early period, ''Live at the Bradford''was Directed by film director Paul Rachman and Produced by Jim Coffman, the band's former manager. The performance was short when compared to the actual shows (which were typically two long sets each), the sound in the video is low quality, the editing amateurish (3 cameras, and filmed from stage left), and the video quality is grainy and oversaturated. Despite its limitations, it is a rare peek back in time to the heyday of Boston's local music scene. ''Live at the Bradford'' offers a glimpse of what a live Mission of Burma performance back in the day was all about. With energy, sweat and stage divers galore, plus unforgettable live versions of "Fun World" and "Revolver". On March 18, 2008, Matador Records released the full evening set as a DVD accompanying the remastered "The Horrible Truth About Burma (OLE 732-2)." This DVD includes the VHS version for posterity. The early set from the Bradford is also available as a companion disc to the studio album "VS. (OLE 731-2)." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Live at the Bradford」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
