I wouldn't go as far as 'never good live', though I do get your drift. I saw them on consecutive nights, 28 and 29 March 1986 in Brighton and Poole. Brighton was underwhelming, yet Poole was fantastic, up there with the best gigs I've ever been to. Hmm, maybe 'gig' is pushing it a bit, can Poole Arts Centre be a 'gig'? Surely a gig is upstairs, along the hall, at a pub In Harlesden?
Anyone here at the Nov 10 1985 show at Hammy Palais? Mental! Two hours late on, crowd real football-hooligan types, must have been way over fire limit. Only gig (done it again) at which I have felt seriously scared of getting injured, or worse.
Got all the 12"s from Ceremony to Fine Time...
