Hardly a week went by without seeing GBOA in the late 80's. I even went to the Town & Country Club to watch a promo film Drill Your Own Hole where they gave away free condoms!
Saw them at The Astoria during a warm-up gig before their Keep The Faith tour. I wasn't a massive fan at the time but I have to say that even to this day it was one of the most professional and faultless rock and roll performances I've ever seen. The band were tighter than a gnat's chuff!
I was hoping to string it out a bit longer!!!! Actually bought tickets to se POTUSA and got the dates wrong so ended up not going. Well done Hoop-Leif - over to you for the next list.
