Letters To Cleo - "Cruel To Be Kind/Awake" [LIVE at Paradise Rock Club]

Getting ready to see Letters to Cleo's 2018 reunion tour, I was digging around in my older UA-cam videos and found one of them playing "Awake" at RadioBDC's launch party in 2012 on this same stage. Fast-forward to last Friday night... RadioBDC is gone, but LtC is still rockin'! Covering Nick Lowe's "Cruel To Be Kind, they followed up with... yup... "Awake"!

This was the song I wanted the DJ to play at my Senior Ball. The DJ wasn't able to download it, so when the Class President heard the DJ wasn't planning on playing my song, he had two of our friends drive their cars into the parking lot of the Inn where our Senior Ball was being held, and they blasted this song off with their car speakers at 10:30 at night, and we danced in the parking lot. That was our Grand Finale for our Senior Ball.

Loved LtC since they started! I would love to see them live again after all of these years.

Thanks for this!
Been on a Letters to Cleo binge. I think they are amazing. No one sings like Kay, and a huge catalog of great songs.
