The Saints '73-'78 will make their North American debut this November, carrying on from where the original band left off in 1978, performing songs from their three incendiary albums (I'm) Stranded (1977), Eternally Yours (1978), and Prehistoric Sounds (1978), and will be the first time the material from the original band and their three albums, plus respective EPs and singles, will have ever been performed in North America.
In October 2024, The Saints '73-'78 played a 3-night stand at Brisbane's Princess Theatre. All three shows were recorded by long time Ed Kuepper-affiliate, Derek Bovill, with 4 songs from night two mixed by Brisbane engineer, Branko Cosic.
Live Nights in Venice... Vol. 1 features two songs each from The Saints first two albums; 1977's (I'm) Stranded and 1978's Eternally Yours, sounding as vital and in-your-face as ever. For these recordings though, the band expanded to a full eight-piece line-up featuring original guitarist / songwriter Kuepper, original Saints drummer Ivor Hay, bassist Peter Oxley, guitarist Mick Harvey, singer Mark Arm and a 3-piece brass section comprising Eamon Dilworth (trumpet), Julian Wilson (tenor sax) and Mark Spencer (baritone sax). This same lineup will feature on the North American, UK and European tours.
