Early 80 s benders with keyboards around their necks saying guitars were uncool. Later 80s slightly better |

Jermaine...was that Hammersmith Palais gig 1984? Did you take pics at any other gigs at the Palais in 1984? I played there that year supporting Spear of Destiny, were you working on that one? I've got no pics of it, maybe you have? 150-1 shot this one probably but no harm in asking lol.

I think it was bit later than 84 not sure tho. I know it was sonic youth first gig here.i was working for a screen printing company. I did I m sure do a spear of destiny one but think that was a festival maybe Stonehenge What was your band ?I can ask if there are any .The trouble was it was all pre digital and negatives ended up everywhere. |

I've been to 1000s of gigs. But the palais one was exceptional sonic youth had cheekily bashed the volume up to an incredible level and were well confident they were to blow jamc off stage. I remember jamc were pretty p issed off and when they started it was quite subdued then they played never understand and the place went ballistic. Almost riot like scenes I read afterwards some saying that s youth had blown jamc away.
Not IMO Years later my friends brother Nick Sanderson rip was jamc drummer so I got to see them many times. Never did I see them come close to being as good as that night. Great great gig. |

Jermaine....My band was the Orson Family, I was the drummer. We did a lot of gigs in 83 and 84 around the country and some in Europe, many as headliners plus quite a few as support to bigger bands as well as Spear of Destiny.... the Clash, the Smiths, the Alarm, Bronski Beat, Amazulu, Clint Eastwood and General Saint, Gang of Four etc. As you said Jermaine it was all negatives in those days and they all ended up lost, I've got hardly any pics of any of the gigs, if by some long shot you find any floating around I'd be grateful.
Morpeth.....the Palais gig was October 1984, I remember that as it was the same day I passed my driving test, as well as being our last but one gig as were about to split. As it was the end of an era for us I decided to go out with a bang and have my own guitar smashing moment in true rock n' roll style so I got off the drumkit, walked to the front of stage and smashed an old guitar to bits while the others carried on playing. I enjoyed that. Burton....I'm definitely not that bloke from Dollar! |
