Caliban - Live At The Last Night 73 - Music CD

Recorded live at the final ever gig at Liverpool's original Cavern Club, this document captures Caliban in full, unruly flight. Ripping through a set of punk-edged hard rock before a partly bewildered crowd, the band unleash heavy, grinding riffs in a Deep Purple-meets-Third World War frenzy. Few venues loom as large in music history as the Cavern, birthplace of the Beatles and Cilla Black, and demolished in 1973. This recording preserves the very last night before the wrecking balls moved in at dawn. Caliban's early-'70s guitar-driven attack honours rock 'n' roll roots while pre-empting a distinctly British punk ethos, aligning them with Stack Waddy and Third World War, yet heavier and fiercer. Hugely popular locally, once supported by Judas Priest, this long-lost debut finally reveals Caliban: raw, confrontational, and uncompromisingly loud.
