Actually, this was the second time I saw Be-Bop Deluxe...The first time was opening night of the Modern Music tour on 20th January 1977, at Sheffield City Hall, but I couldn't find the ticket stub....Steve Gibbons Band were supporting act on the tour...needless to say, it was simply amazing.
I was lucky enough to see Be-Bop Deluxe several times, including on the Drastic Plastic tour and every concert just blew me away...I've never known a happier, more 'in to it', or more satisfied crowd from the hundreds of gigs I've been to over the years, than those who were at the Be-Bop shows I went to..When something happens like that, it stays with you forever.
I still have quite a lot of memorabilia I bought at these concerts, and photos I took myself from both tours, and signed tour programmes from the whole band...and one or two stories.
They were great days...I was 16 at the time.
By the way, the Steve Gibbons Band were very good on this tour and had an album out about a year or so later called 'Down In The Bunker', which really is very good...I listened to it not so long ago and it has stood the test of time and still sounds fresh...recommended.
