[spoiler="The Boomtown Rats"]
Ирландская группа новой волны, образовавшаяся в Дан-Лири (недалеко от Дублина) в 1975 и исполнявшая энергичный и мелодичный поп-панк с остроумными текстами и нестандартными аранжировками. The Boomtown Rats выпустили пять студийных альбомов; первые четыре из них входили в первую двадцатку UK Album Chart. Два сингла группы, «Rat Trap» (октябрь 1978) и «I Don't Like Mondays» (июль 1979), поднимались на вершину UK Singles Chart. К моменту образования группы её лидер Боб Гелдоф уже успел приобрести репутацию саркастичного и временами скандального журналиста: он был ирландским корреспондентом еженедельника Melody Maker. Первый концерт группы, тогда называвшейся The Nightlife Thugs (и находившейся под влиянием Dr. Feelgood и Боба Марли) состоялся 31 октября 1975: его организовал Джерри Котт в Техническом колледже на Болтон-стрит. На сцену ансамбль вышел под названием The Nightlife Thugs, но изменил его посреди концерта - на The Boomtown Rats. Это словосочетание было взято из автобиогрофической книги Вуди Гатри «На пути к славе». Очень скоро, регулярно выступая в местных клубах, группа стала известна по всей Ирландии - не в последнюю очередь благодаря «фирменному» танцу (сопровождавшемуся призывом: Do the Rat!). В октябре 1976 The Boomtown Rats в поиске большого контракта перебрались в Англию и поселились в Лондоне. Отклонив предложение контракта на миллион фунтов от Virgin Records, группа приняла предложение Найджела Грэйнджа, владельца только что образованного лейбла Ensign. Жизнь в столице была группе не по карману, и она обосновалась в Чессингтоне. Весной 1977 The Boomtown Rats вышли в своё первое большое британское турне, дав 5 концертов в первом отделении Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Дебютный сингл «Looking After No. L», вышедший в августе, стал первой нововолновой сорокапяткой, вошедшей в плейлист Би-би-си. Еженедельник New Musical Express объявил его «Синглом недели». Дебютный альбом «The Boomtown Rats» (#18 в UK Albums Chart), записанный продюсером Маттом Лэнгом в Германии, при относительной консервативности звучания, произвёл впечатление на критиков - в частности (согласно рецензии в Trouser Press) «живостью образов, экспрессивным вокалом Гелдофа и резкими перепадами настроения». Боб Гелдоф, начавший давать многочисленные интервью, быстро стал любимцем прессы и благодаря находчивым ответам на вопросы журналистов получил прозвище Bob The Gob (напомню, он сам был журналистом). «The Fine Art of Surfacing» - третий студийный альбом группы, выпущен лейблом Ensign Records (в США - Columbia Records). Синглы из альбома - «Diamond Smiles» (#13 UK), «Someone's Looking at You» (#4 UK) и «I Don't Like Mondays» стали хитами в Британии; последний в июле 1979 возглавил британский хит-парад. Альбом, поднявшийся до #7 в UK Albums Chart, был высоко оценён критиками, многие из которых называли его лучшим в карьере The Boomtown Rats. Основная тема альбома - американский образ жизни, о котором Гелдоф пишет иногда всерьёз, иногда иронично («Diamond Smiles» - о светской «дебютантке», которая решает покончить с собой исключительно, чтобы обратить на себя внимание), но в основном крайне язвительно. В январе 1979 Гелдоф узнал о калифорнийской школьнице Бренде Спенсер, которая расстреляла учеников своей школы (ранив более десятка человек и убив завуча), а впоследствии на вопрос о причине своего поступка ответила: «Я не люблю понедельники». Это высказывание вдохновило Гелдофа и Фингерса на создание песни «I Don't Like Mondays». Песня, первоначально выдержанная в стиле reggae, к тому моменту, когда The Boomtown Rats впервые исполнили её на концерте в Лох-Ломонде (Шотландия), полностью изменилась, превратившись в иронично-глянцевую поп-балладу. Чтобы подчеркнуть «особенность» звучания этой песни, группа (все остальные треки трёх первых альбомов записавшая с Маттом Лэнгом) специально пригласила для работы над ней поп-продюсера Фила Вайнмана, до этого известного по сотрудничеству с Sweet и The Bay City Rollers. Песня возглавила хит-парады 32 стран мира, не имела успеха лишь в США. Родители Бренды Спенсер пытались через суд добиться того, чтобы песня была запрещена в стране, но проиграли дело. Тем не менее, многие американские радиостанции ввели на сингл негласный запрет, опасаясь, что по стране может прокатиться волна подобных убийств. В Великобритании «I Don't Like Mondays» получила в 1979 году престижную награду Ivor Novello в двух номинациях: «Лучшая поп-песня» и «Выдающийся британский песенный текст» (Outstanding British Lyric).
В 2013 году The Boomtown Rats собрались вновь для тура в поддержку нового сборника своих лучших песен.

JEMS master recording. The Boomtown Rats shared the stage with Graham Parker & The Rumour this night. Graham's sax player joins them on stage for a few numbers. Bob is his typically chatty, witty and sarcastic self between numbers. They play an early version of I Don't Like Mondays here which was released as a single right about this time but wouldn't show up formally on an album until later in the year.

Very good audience recording. The Rats were well past their commercial peak at this point, but this set includes several of their better-known earlier songs, as well as covers of 'Knock on Wood,' Joe Tex's 'Show Me' and Bob Marley's 'Stir it Up.

Excellent digital radio broadcast. This is an upgrade to an earlier post, which only had six songs from this show. The Boomtown Rats were touring their 1982 album their album "V Deep" at the time and this set has songs from that as well as earlier numbers.

Excellent FM radio broadcast. The Rats' last hurrah came following Bob Geldof's involvement with the Band Aid project in late 1984, and lead to them getting some high-profile shows in the summer of 1985, including Glastonbury, Live Aid... and Scunthorpe Free Rock (no, really - I was there). This set is half-comprised of songs from their later albums - their final album 'In the Long Grass' had come out in May 1985. By mid-1986, The Boomtown Rats were no more.
