I was at Xmas on Earth at Leeds too.
Ankle deep in water at the venue as everyone dragged in the snow on their footwear

Sadly repeated at the Welcome to 1984 show but this time it wasn't only melted snow as the toilets backed up as well. The shithole that was Leeds Queens Hall. On the plus side I saw The Damned, Lord Sutch, Subs, GBH, Upstarts, Abrasive Wheels, Chelsea, Action Pact, Newtown Neurotics, English Dogs (Best performance of the day), Enemy, Burial, H-Men and Partisans. Went partially deaf before The Damned came on.

18 years later an image of my ticket that day was on The Damned's 35th Anniversary Spaun snare drum (organised by Pinch who was in the English Dogs at that time). There's only 35 in existence and I have one.

Would have been a brilliant line-up back in the day with the original band members.

Loved the Rezillos.
But, Space-Age Punk was never going to last.
They still are a good live act and well worth seeing...

Destination Venus was the first (joint first) punk song I bought, the same time as I bought Tommy Gun having seen both The Clash and Rezillos on Tiswas in the morning. Or was it The Revillos?

If only Rotten, Cornwall, Sharkey, Devoto / Shelley, and Stuart Adamson were able to attend and perform
