The stepladder. *shudders*trj977 said:+1 Utter tosh, never was a fan but somebody had a spare ticket! They were at least half way through "Dont You Foget About Me" before I knew what the hell the song was. Simply dreadfull.

BrumJim said:Can't remember who they were supporting. Was it Ride?
One of my brothers went to the same gig, I'll ask him if he remembers them - my Mum wouldn't let me go 'cos I was too youngHappiness Stan said:An act called Skafish who were supporting The Police at Milton Keynes Bowl in 1980. Instead of ska they played a kind of demented US punk a la Devo but without the humour. It prompted a barrage of bottles, cans, 2litre PET bottles of piss and rotten fruit which was quite terrifying as I was near the front and received a fair few of the short ranged missiles.

1983, Sheffield City Hall. Dire Straits. So pissed he forgot the lyrics to Sultans of Swing FFS.slowmotion said:Dire Straits at Earl's Court, a long time ago, when they played a lot of Brothers in Arms songs. It would have been so good in a pub, but in a big venue it was just ghastly. Awful.
That'll be it then. Sorry, the few years either side of 1980 dissolve into a haze of euphoric false memories and patchouli oil on leather.......GregCollins said:The bikers, mistakenly in my view, saw off Steel Pulse on the Friday in 1983 with bottles of piss. I guess it was still the late seventies in '83 given that the sixties clearly finished late.
