The best I ever went to - 1982 after literally queuing around the Hammersmith odeon block and up Fulham Palace Road for tickets on a Saturday after it was announced on The Robbie Vincent’s Radio London show. Still have the ticket and programme. The actual show (inc this recording) was so good I went back the following day and paid a tout. Ah the days before ticket master (and now surge pricing!) Frankie Beverly had such stage presence and the band were tight. He always gave the crowd what they wanted. RIP
Best for me too, Ian. I remember Robbie announcing it and I think it was my mate Lee who qued for the tickets. The atmosphere on the night was electric. I remember seeing the roadies standing in the wings with open mouths looking out at the crowd. Frankie growled out 'Southern Girl' and soared through 'Happy Feelings' and 'Joy and Pain'. I think they had to do three encores - even with the house lights up the crowd stood firm belting out the 'Joy and Pain' chorus. Incredible night. RIP Frankie. Ben Metcalfe (useing the wife's account).
