808 State - The Only Rhyme That Bites, Cubik, Pacific State, Live The GMEX, Manchester 24.03.90

[@eatthesun8925]

I was in the audience for this. Hearing the riff for Cubik for the first time through that sound system rewired my 15 year old brain. Thanks for sharing and for the memories.

[@AlisonGranger-s5z]

I'm pretty sure I was at this one too!

[@billybarker7392]

I was there quality night

[@michaelgill1203]

Oh my word! Takes me back

[@MrMmnngghh]

I've been a hip hop, hardcore punk, and thrash metal head for years, but I have these chaps to thank, as well as Aphex Twin and that first Prodigy album, for getting me interested in the likes of Unkle, Burial and Venetian Snares later on. I certainly didn't fully appreciate at the time that this came out just how good it was. Too busy listening to riffs & rhymes. Thanks for posting it, keeping it alive, and showing the current generation what we were blessed with.

I was in my early 20s & this shit was epic. Still here 2024.

[@bunstie5208]

I love the atmosphere as pacific state starts

[@Wriggs74]

Oh I do remember this gig. I stood next to the bass speakers on the left all night. 30 yesrs on and I've still got ringing in my ears. 😂

[@alexfletcher5192]

Pacific State had me in a state of wonder as a kid (okay, 16) and those impressions are difficult to shift with age.

[@davewilliams7130]

These guys made so many good tunes, the energy on these tracks is superb 👍

Haha some of them. I was in there, two days before my 15th birthday - WAY too young in hindsight. So I’m only 46 now haha.
