Oh how times have changed. I planned to try tape the gig but i forgot an important thing : batteries ! Back then, there were no garages selling all sorts of stuff & as it was a Sunday, most shops were shut! A disaster. Even worse, i knew a mate who was seeing all the shows & this one he decided he wasn’t taping. So this was the show where i got into Snakebites. Not conventionally though : i’d have a pint of cider, then a pint of lager, then a pint of cider…i was young & couldn’t hold my drink (yeah, i know, that’s not changed!) so got pretty pissed up 🙂 It was a good show though !
