Casino Cabaret was on Welton and is now called Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom. Not too long ago they took down the old Casino Cabaret marquee and some people were upset to be losing that historic signage.
If your not familiar. Crime and the City Solution are a Australian band started in 1977 by Simon Bonney. He is the only constant in the various memberships over the years and they relocated to London and other places over time . He was friends with Nick Cave and the Birthday Party guys and has had members of that band in various incarnations. This show has Mick Harvey on drums. They were mostly active until about 1990 when they disbanded and Simon put out some solo albums.
In the mean time there was a reunion in 2011 with some touring and a new album in 2014. Doing some research for this post I see that they have reformed again and have a bunch of 2022 dates in Europe.
Lantz managed to capture some pretty good recordings with his cassette recorder setup. This one is another where the fidelity isn't amazing but the mics remained in a fixed position for the entirety of the performance and other than sounding a bit distant I think it's quite a nice listen. Other than a few cassette dubs I think this has never really been widely circulated. Enjoy
