All of them.
Apart from The Thompson Twins and The Nolans, obviously, but we'll never mention them again, okay?

Bit of an ecclectic mix for me
Imagination at the Edinburgh Playhouse(just for Leeee Johns feet).
Sydney Devine at the Pavillion In Glasgow(what an entertainer).
U2 at Coasters In Edinburgh(last of the Boy tour), back when Bono wasn't up his own arse.
Bauhaus at Coasters 1981. Probably the scariest gig(I was only 15 at the time).
1981/2/3/4 went to just about everything that played Glasgow/Edinburgh.
My mate had a gold card for the Playhouse(guarenteed tickets for every event, with 4th row seats in the stalls)
But that was back in the day when you could see in the NME/Melody Maker/Sounds, who was playing that night, catch the train through and pay at the door.

Bob Dylan last thusday evening Arrived 8.30 after been in the pub over the road for an hour,he'd already started, 45 minutes later he was finished !!!! Found out the fcuker came on at 7.30, no support act....nowt
So, at £43 a ticket.....it was nearly a £1 per minute. He was'nt bad tho.....I can now say I've been in the same room as Bob Dylan
