Stray cats leeds uni in 80's

It's helpful (maybe necessity) brain cells if you are a Wakey fsn.

Anyone with all their marbles wouldn't keep turning up to watch, although, it's been a lot easier over the last few weeks

I was there for the Elvis Costello gig.



Best bands.

The Clash, Finsbury Park Rainbow, R A R 1978.

Sex Pistols, SPOTS tour. 78

Ramones, Leeds uni, 78

I could go on with this topic but that tends to defeat the object.

Pink Floyd - Mothers, Birmingham



Live 8 was special too

Some great bands being talked about. A lot of people showing their age of course but some classics on our lists.

Pink Floyd at Mothers Birmingham with Manuel 69/70 ish?

Be bop deluxe and Gygafo at Unity Hall. My first so fond memories.

Two of the best band's I have seen live though very under rates are The Beautiful South and Deacon Blue. I have seen both band's several times.



Every time I have seen them they have good rapport with fans and are pitch perfect.



Saw Paul Heaton last month he was good as he played Housemartins Beautiful South and stuff he's done with Jacqui Abbot

Darts-Derby old Bell Hotel- 2013-chaotic



The Beat-Wakefield Unity Hall-1979



The Starnglers/Boomtown Rats - Whitehaven-Copeland Stadium-2014

Oh and the Skids at Unity Hall 1981-Classic

Ian Hunter is 77 next month - 3rd June - still releasing great albums and doing great gigs



Some of my favourites :

Georgia Satellites - Reading Festival 1987 (and many times since and these days it's Dan Baird & Homemade Sin equally as good anywhere)

Queen at Live Aid 1986

Iron Maiden at Unity Hall 1980 as mentioned by others - support band Praying Mantis were great too and are still going

Twisted Sister - Christmas Show - Nokia Theatre, NYC 2008 - not a band I play a lot at home but a great live band
