I was there at this gig. In fact, I'm the 18yr old idiot sat in front of Pete's drums wearing the ludicrous white hat and the one who got up to do a stupid dance during Crocodiles. But I tell you what, they were great days!!!!!! I really wish I was 18 again.

In the 1980's you could see Echo and the Bunnymen walking around town, also Pete Burns, Flock of seagulls, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Ian McNabb, Julian Cope, Pete Wylie etc....they visited" Probe" which was a record store selling vinyl...Then there was...... Cast, The La's and Space later on...all good stuff

Boy, how good they were. Don't think this is the full gig. Was there, they played two sets of around an hour each. This must be the 'full broadcast' gig. If I remember correctly the Japanese dancers did their thing during the interval between the two sets. Amazing, proper brilliant night as part of the whole 'Crystal Day'. Amazing venue as well, kind of suited them, after the Albert Hall gig the previous year. Everybody says it all the time, the Albert Hall gig should get a full release. So should this.

Drawn back to this, nostalgia rules. It was shown on Midsummer Nights Tube. The Tube was an excellent mid 80s music show in the UK. They showed U2 at Red Rocks on the same night. When I went into work on Monday, people (some much older) commented on how the Bunnymen were the best thing on the show. In fact, the best thing they had ever seen on the Tube. High praise indeed, from people who were mostly of the 50s/60s youth generation.

I saw them on this tour in Boston, Aug. 18 at the Opera House. went with 3 girls but left with only one. Talked to Will Sargent outside after the show. Told him "Good show, Will." he said Thanks. Then I asked if he saw a pretty blonde and a brunette backstage where they were. he said no. But they stayed all night with their road manager while I went back home to RI with my other friend, a headache and a heartache. we since made up but broke up soon after, if it can be called that. She was in love with Mac. He came out with a coat draped over his shoulder outside after the show while i breathed in the exhaust from their truck. Pete DeFreitas road off on his bike into the Boston midnite. I thought it was too dangerous. he was killed in a motorcycle wreck in the Bahams I think 5 years later. I only went because of the blonde. still in touch with her.

Nice one, getting in. Thought you needed all kinds of stamps? I was 16, desperate to go but lacked the nerve to try and go alone (didn't know anyone else into them round my way in Crosby). I went into town to feel the vibe, saw a big queue outside Brian's, and spent the afternoon in the Walker Art Gall looking at Art of the Beatles exhibition. Saw them in the Phil that October though, which made up for it. Glorious.
