The English Beat - Mirror In The Bathroom (Live at US Festival 9/3/1982)

[@sdsurfers1]

I was there with 4 friends. It was HOT as hell and we were 16. Oingo Boingo and the B-52's killed it also! : ) GANG OF FOUR too!

[@leishahealy5319]

Of our child hoods wow what a tune

[@leishahealy5319]

❤

[@markbrandus]

Was there - 102F in the middle of the MF desert! I'm stage left in the crowd. What a day. B-52's, The Ramones, Oingo Boingo, The English Beat, Talking Heads, The Police at night.

[@jsee5036]

I was there too and it seemed like 122 degrees!...lol

[@specex]

I was there too. It was hot, but everyone was stripped down to minimum, so it was all good.

[@alhollywood6486]

Dude, mad respect. I was just a little too young to make my parents let me go.

[@jeffreyday2414]

Even with the heat! what a lineup. lucky you

[@Digginbehindthedikes]

I kept asking myself who that guy stage left was but it's you apparently!

[@ronniechilds2002]

Saw them in about 1980 opening for the Pretenders. I had never heard of these cats, but man, the raised the freaking roof. Everybody came away impressed. One of the most energetic shows I've ever seen in my life. Just beautiful, watching them carrying on like they do.

[@Leo-lr4eq]

How unfair, that I had to be born in 2003. Much too late to be able to witness a show like this.

[@goldenhourkodak]

Go see other shows. Lots of good study today too.

[@HDIrwin]

That Bass line is still awesome :-)

[@KenWallaceFilms]

Saw The Beat open for the Talking Heads at the Greek Theater in LA -- one of the best concerts ever.

[@cherrygarcia1845]

nice. my sister went to miami u in Oxford, OH and got to see talking heads at millet hall.

[@patrickbunbury9008]

Mirror mirror on that floor!

[@douglas-hughes]

The US Festivals (1092 and 1983) were the greatest values in concert history from the aspect of the audience. Nothing else comes close and probably never will. Call me crazy but I include Woodstock in that assertion.

[@angrycat3183]

Damn they can move

Love Rick playing that lovely Vox guitar. The 2 tone band & whole ethos. Black, white & others. ❤️ Who gives a shit. We are all human beings with our unique histories. So, fucking annoying Farage has an advert attached to joy.
