It was meant to be tracks, but I forgot to say. So, it's albums, singles, comps, stews, whatever...

no, wait ... they've moved

― coco, Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:58 (twenty years ago)

I've actually got a tape of it, although I don't like to listen to it since it has a tendency to remove the rose-coloured spectacles from some of my illusions.

(x-post)

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:58 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I have one of those kinds of tapes. The other one is better. No other people, lots of abuse, comedy (some unintentional), and a crash through a sex pistols medley at the end....... .

*233. The 21st of November 1981.*

What are you on about Stewart? You sang with the Damned? I know where I was on 21st Nov 1981. I was in READING - so I might have been where you were?

I dunno if I was at the Top Rank.

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

"What are you on about Stewart? You sang with the Damned? I know where I was on 21st Nov 1981. I was in READING - so I might have been where you were?"

I was in Henley. I'm pretty sure it was 21st although it might have been 28th to be honest. Not sure what you're on about 'though Doc - The Damned didn't play Reading that night, did they?!?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 13:01 (twenty years ago)

228: the high hat

― peepee (peepee), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 13:11 (twenty years ago)

Now if you'd asked me where I was on the 12th July 1981 that would have been another matter entirely: I definitely was watching The Damned that night - although at The Lyceum in London, not in Reading.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 13:15 (twenty years ago)

21st (although, OK, or maybe it may possibly have been 28th) November 2001 > Marquee Moon > the high hat > garlic/walnut chicken stew > "Don't Fear The Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult > "I hollered up at Ethel...I said, 'don't look, Ethel!'"

Possibly.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 11 January 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

**Not sure what you're on about 'though Doc - The Damned didn't play Reading that night, did they?!? **

No, I was trying to guess what it was that was your pick. So I imagined that you may have got onstage with the Damned or something. Or - I thought it might have been another gig in Reading that was so memorable. And if it was, I would have been there probably.

New Order was May 1981.

Speaking about CKLW, I just saw the "Big8" documentary, and it was outstanding. It made me want to try and convince the city officials (who are always looking for a tourist attraction for Windsor) that there should be a CKLW museum. Something truly unique to Windsor, and which would be a great draw for those of us in the midwest who are interested in the history of rock and roll. I'm hoping that there is still alot of footage from the CKLW-tv archives of all the acts that came through and performed here.

We were asked to pick only one favourite of anything; so I picked my favourite ever day.

24th December 1981 and 1st January 1982 were pretty good too btw.
