New York. And yes, it was well worth it. Sightseeing: done. The Tubes in concert: done. Earthquake: done. Hurricane: just missed

 

The Tubes in concert, christ that brings it back.

 

Was cutting through the Gaumont car park in late May 1979 at lunchtime when I spotted Fee Waybill lounging about as the roadies unloaded their gear - I wished him good luck for the gig & he then gave me 2 tickets for the show.

 

He likes a chainsaw.

Ha I was at that gig! Still ranks as my all time favourite too. Still got an album somewhere, covered in outraged cuttings from the Daily Mail saying "Would you want your daughter to see this?". Think Southampton and Pompey were the only gigs in that tour because Waybill broke his leg in Oxford on the third night.
