    If there was one thing I could do in my life it would be to tell Stuart, Tony, etc what a great album this is. It I will live with me forever 👍

    What a find ! Brilliant ! Am feeling slightly old...I remember this when it originally aired. Friday evenings Channel 4 5.30 to 7pm.
    What a mind blast !
    Was lucky enough to see them live many times from Dec 84 through to 2000.
    Best live band there was in my opinion.

      And if you missed it commuting home or having yer tea, it was repeated later that night too.

    What a band, I saw them live quite a few times , but they played the Tube twice and I still think they were their best performances ever , 35 years later and I still remember everything about it . And what a show , the Tube on a Friday evening was brilliant .Even if they tried to make it again, it would be crap with the bands around now !!!

      WTF . . . I mean what the fuck are you saying ? . . . "a Very great loss" !!! NO ONE LOST anything, it was a gain for everyone. You're saying things about: 1. someone who is not here, 2.someone you didn't know deep enough to say anything about, 3. something you wouldn't have said to his face, 4. about your own selfish perspective. Think what you like . . . BUT you don't get to say whatever you like. I suppose you meant well but that's incredibly arrogant and misguided. Think about it . . . if you could change a person, or somehow change events (TIME) then that person wouldn't be the one they were. It would screw things up all around. The only way to accept a person is exactly the way they are . . . not how you want things to be. I think you owe a apology for such a statement, not to me, to the world.

    I just wonder if any of these people really understood what a privilege they were experiencing in seeing these masters completely turn rock and roll on its head with deeply poetic and introspective lyrics and killer drums, guitar, and bass?
    I miss Stuart every day. I wish I could go back in time and cross the pond and see this show.

      ​@@Neil2022 Id never heard of them till recently except that one song of their name, which I didnt know their band name, and I am very big into rock. It was a treasure to discover all of this. I was born too late to really see them. I think they are underrated compared to many bands people know that werent as good. Solid bangers on so many tunes.

    Fantastic song written mainly about Corby Steelworks where thousands of Scottish folk moved there to start a new life....enter thatcher who closed Corby down.

      British Steel announces it was closing in 1979, the factory was very uncompetitive, that's what happens when something is Nationalised

      @@robinstreets1792 In the Tory white paper of 1973 (of which I have a copy) on the future of British Steel it quite clearly states by the end of the decade Corby steelworks will close with the loss of 6500 jobs they knew what they were doing.
