Some tickets from previous Belfast shows

Tickets arrived today.

Many thanks to scamp for the DVD repost. If anyone wants it, I've ripped the audio and tracked it, converted it to MP3 and uploaded it to mediafire in two zip files. Since it's audio extracted from a DVD, it was already very lossy, so there was no point in bloating it to FLAC, so this is just MP3. ...

The "lots of silly men" lyric change in Radio Radio was a retort directed at Radio1 DJ Tony Blackburn, who'd made some disparaging comment to that effect about EC.
The Olivers Army clip is from the 1979 Christmas edition of TOTP, I think.

I'll try and upload You win again sometime.

There was an encore too - You win again.

This gig was hastily arranged, I think, as a previous one from 1982 had been cancelled, certainly the merchandising (such as it was) was all Imperial Bedroom t-shirts, cos I bought one. Horrible, l...
