this might divide opinion
1st Pistols at the Electric Circus and I was wearing cords and desert boots. Clash were better and Devotos last concert with Buzzcocks. Historic when you look back on it. When they came back to the same venue a fortnight later as the tour fell into chaos spiky hair and studs out in force. It was a nightmare and kicked off in the queue. Bouncers wouldn't let me in even with a ticket! Loved the EC, just down the road and great bands.There must be quite a few on here who listened to punk and went to gigs, I know i did.
Bands like the Pistols Clash Stranglers Damned UK Subs SLF Boomtown Rats Sham69 Angelic Upstarts Undertones The Jam.
And then there's the venue's Free Trade Hall Apollo Pollytechnic Mayflower club etc.
The clothes and hair Bondage pants studded Biker Jackets belts wristbands bumflaps furry jumpers Docs cherry red or black. Mohicans Spikes Skins etc etc
That scene was a big part of my youth.
