Budgie - Electric Ballroom, Milwaukee 1978

Budgie at the Electric Ballroom in Milwaukee on 4 May, 1978 during their US and Canadian tour. The Welsh band was presenting the new album Impeckable released on February.
The band line-up was: Burke Shelley on bass and lead vocals, Steve Williams on drums, Myf Isaac on rhythm guitar and Tony Bourge on lead guitar that would leave the band in July 1977.
This is a clean recording lacking some high end though considering the age it's not bad at all.
