N2 of two shows for me. I was a fan of the Clash and just loved BAD from the time their first album came out - as did many friends who were tuned into new music during the late 1980s. Their first couple of albums were popular at the time and you knew you were fortunate to see Mick Jones and BAD any time you could.

New Order was all the rage at this time. A collection like “Substance” shows what a large amount of well-loved material New Order released. I became and remained a big fan of Bernard Sumner’s work in various configurations, including the band Electronic which he formed later with Johnny Marr, but missed a couple of opportunities to see him, after this show.
