I bet it was, I'm not jealous!
I've only ever seen them twice on the War tour ('82 IIRC, yes I'm really that old). I don't like big venues (although you don't get much choice these days).
They played Brighton Top Rank and Portsmouth Locarno (both really small, like nightclub size venues). Tiny stage and at the front they were so close you could reach out and touch them, although this was frowned upon back then. Also they had the Comsat Angels supporting them (no one on here'll remember them) but they were superb as well.
Happy days! god I'm sounding like my dad!

hehehe. Yeah ur right about the big venues these days - Dublin was to 125 thousand. I'd loved to have the chance to see them in a small venue. At least you got to see them when they were 'true' and 'raw'...don't get me wrong I think they still have this unique attribute to this day! Making them such a good band.
Thought I'd throw a couple of piccies up for ya.
It was so good, I wanted to go go and see the tour in NYC (another justified reason for a week in the big Apple lol), but the summer wiped me out of money and time off work /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
