Quote: BP1 "Yeah, I was there for that one as well. Think it was around the time of 'Thieves Like Us' if I recall.
Can't remember too much of the night (39 years ago, my God!!!), but seem to recall they were in a far more relaxed mood than they had been that night at Tower. Mind you, who wasn't in a bad mood when they were unfortunate enough to be spending an evening at The Tower (not exactly the finest advert for the fair city!).
They were my favourite band throughout the eighties and saw them numerous times during the decade in various places. Like I said earlier, you were never sure what would happen with them from gig to gig, usually dependent on their mood.
I think they relaxed a bit post Blue Monday as people began to view them as a band in their own right as opposed to the oppressive weight of being Joy Division part 2 in a lot of people's eyes.
Like the True Faith quip, nice one, God knows the patience of some us on here is being sorely tested this week!!!'"
I had the pleasure of them at Finsbury Park 20 odd years ago seeing I was residing down in Londinium at the time.
Well, it would have been rude not too, wouldnt it?
Mental day.
