THE LAST NIGHT AT WIGAN CASINO - END OF AN ERA - 19th SEPTEMBER 1981 *****

Well this is the last live allnighter tape I'm going to put up for a while but believe me this is a listening experience that you'll never forget. Totally different to the fantastic quality tape I put up of the 7th Anniversary, this one is notable for picking up every last bit of the incredible atmosphere of that final allnighter (of course, they opened the doors again for another 'last' allnighter a month later, but this is the real thing). I hadn't listened to this tape for over a decade and I'm not ashamed to say that it reduced me to tears, hearing I'm On My Way for the very last time. I did go to this allnighter but it's not my recording. Anyway, please don't expect crystal clear quality, but do expect to be put through an emotional wringer. *****

Features DJ's Brian Rae, Dave Evison and Russ Winstanley.

Great memories..i too was there this nite, pretty sure there was a total power failure also about 3am that lasted about 6/7 minutes but it seemed a lifetime( i was walking round the balcony at the time and trod on someones head lol,... We had paid a fiver for the advanced ticket only to find that later on theyed started letting people in on the door for a quid, but all in all it was a sure "Cracking Nite! "
