Levellers play Zeitgeist album and greatest hits in live show in Derby
Widely acclaimed British band the Levellers will perform in Derbyshire to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their chart-topping album Zeitgeist.
The group will be performing all the tracks from the album and their greatest hits at Vaillant Live in Derby on November 15. Their gig is in support of a newly released Zeitgeist 30th Anniversary Collection.
Featuring some of the band’s biggest hits in ‘Hope St’ and ‘Fantasy’, along with fan favourites ‘The Fear’, ‘Exodus’ and ‘Men-An-Tol’, the 2LP set includes a second remixed disc containing the single mix of ‘Just The One’ (with Joe Strummer on piano) along with B sides and rarities from the Zeitgeist sessions. The deluxe 3CD set includes an extra ‘Outtakes’ album.
The album was remixed by Al Scott, its original producer who worked with the Levellers at their Metway studio in Brighton.
Thirty years ago Zeitgeist solidified Levellers at the forefront of British music. Following their record-breaking headline performance at Glastonbury Festival the year before, Zeitgeist soared to the top of the charts and the Levellers became the sound of that summer alongside the likes of Oasis, Pulp and Supergrass.
Levellers completely rewrote the rulebook on their own terms, proving themselves heroes of the scene for free thinkers, drop-outs, vagabonds, vagrants and dreamers.
Grace Petrie will support the Levellers at their gig in Vaillant Live, Derby. Tickets £44.50, available from www.ticketmaster.co.uk
