The Last of The Last of The True Believers
On the 27th & 28th of May 1994 the Petrols played their final 2 concerts at The Grand in London and The Tivoli in Dublin
NB: at the Dublin show they didnt actually go on until midnight, which would make it the 29th and that just happens to be my birthday - hell of a present 
I had the pleasure of working with them from 1991 to the very end in Dublin, which was a very sad occasion, where I saw grown men crying at the end of the show, the petrols had that affect on people. Both shows were recorded on digital multitrack equipment with a view to releasing a live album (something I'd been telling them to do for years!) - finally in the year 2000 the album was released under the name Final Flame and excellent it is too.
Some weeks after the last shows I recieved a cassette of the show mix's, a mixture of the best of both shows in London and Dublin. And thats all I had until they released the official album, but there were several tracks missing from the Final Flame CD due to the fact it was a single not double album. - and now here are the missing tracks including a couple of cover songs that they always played in their shows (they used to do a great version of Teen Spirit) for the last shows they chose a Beatles and a Stooges song and both excellent versions as well!
If you enjoy these tracks please go out and get the Final Flame CD and consider checking out all their studio albums as well, its well worth it.
thanks for the music guys

This is a couple of video's at the soundcheck for the penultimate show at the Grand in London
*update*
(sorry its not the penultimate show its from the first show they played at the grand in december 1991)
(It says on the first one that it was recorded at Brixton 1992, but thats wrong)
you may just spot me walking about trying to look busy 
This was my favourite live track, always the last number of the night
Scumsurfing - 1989?
Oh I forgot to mention, they are back together again with shows planned for 2008
This was the set list I used for guitar tuning during the show, you may notice the strange lettering - thats the tuning for some of the guitars on those particular songs, the petrols had some very strange guitar tunings and a lot of guitars, but they made the songs sound great
its a bit faded in places, but then its getting on for 15 years old
this is the only set list from any band that I saved in over 20 years on the road
