I envy those who saw The Jam and (early) The Police, plus obviously Joy Division.

I just missed out, being a bit too young.

The Jam at the Embassy cinema Western Road, and at the top rank? :rolleyes:

Didn't like Joy Division until it was too late....first album didn't get played enough on Peel...

76-79 were fun years for live music.....but bollocks to nostalgia....we recently saw Protomartyr and are booked for Hante and box and the twins:thumbsup:

What a great list.
Temptation deserved no1 slot for 82, swap age of consent and blue monday around for 83 and its almost perfection
never did like blue monday too much ???

I’m glad you said that as I’ve always thought Blue Monday was overrated compared to other NO songs too.

I know what you mean, but at the time I loved Blue Monday because we were heavily into dance music. Obviously it was New Order's break out from pure 'New Wave' to making clubbing music.

But funnily enough, I've rarely played it in recent times.

Temptation, Everything's Gone Green, Procession, Dreams Never End, Chosen Time .... are all eternally brilliant.

I never knew that about The Embassy.

I am old enough to remember Brighton's 20 plus cinemas, and as a nipper was taken to The Embassy to see a couple of films. It might've been The Towering Inferno!

Back to the music, a long time ago, but was the first The Jam gig good?

I'll pass on your praise to Hooky, as I see him at the gym most days. He's in amazing shape at present too!

Loved his gig at Concorde 2, last year. A generous set of 2 hours, he unashamably played all classic New Order and Joy Division tracks. Not just a uniquely classy bassist, his vocals more than held up.

Amazing. First album out. Pure class. But someone called 'punky Steve' was off his head and started a fight in the queue to get in :facepalm::shrug:

Took the gloss off the evening a tad.....

So much great stuff there. John Peel was a music and football loving legend.

I'm lucky to have been at just the right age, to lap it all up at the time. It's great now, finding like minded classy folk on NSC. :smile::smile::smile:

John Peel was a.f*cking NONCE , FACT.
