Just to finish off saw siouxsie at the Hammersmith Palais and the slits supported Iggy along with Aswad, good line up, that bought back some good memories

Got you down as 3 years younger than me

The Ramones

Will be 48 this year......


Was lucky enough to see The Ramones in 85, one of my first all day events.....not say who else was on the bill that day yet.....(although I know that 999s was there too!)
 

Manchester Apollo, 87 I think - would've been about 17 and was totally intimidated by all these old school punks with mohawks at the front continually spitting at Jon Lydon - the stage was just swimming in phlegm, **** knows how he put up with it!
 
Tears for Fears?...

Correct - never did get to see them.....all yours Sooper

In June 85 saw U2, REM, Ramones, Spear of Destiny and Billy Bragg, along with 999s pals band (RIP), Faith Brothers at MK Bowl - a fantastic line-up. Have seen REM and U2 a couple of times since.

Depeche Mode at Wembley, also in 85, The Cult at Belfast Ulster Hall in 91 and OMD a couple of years ago at an Eighties revival weekend.

Lets see your latest list Sooper!
