Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, UK on Wed, 31 Oct 1979
Attended with my then boyfriend and started out standing in the middle. Caught up in the atmosphere I ended the night pogoing hand in hand with a completely different lad at the front. I looked up and discovered he was a lad from the year above me in school. We'd both looked a bit sheepish and made our separate ways to find who we'd come with... Missed the last bus so we had to catch the "employees" bus and walk the last 2 miles. Just to add insult to injury my Dad gave the boyfriend an ear bashing for brining me home late. Great night. Awesome gig. But the relationshop was doomed!
I'm from N.ireland and was undergoing training at RAF St. Athens. I remember a mate and I bought tickets from a ticket tout outside the venue. My second concert after Darts at Portrush. I was only eighteen. Anyway, it was epic. Fingers was drinking beer from a half pint can which he passed out to the crowd and I got to drink from it. Can you imagine! The stage as I remember was set up with scaffolding with the members at different levels. Bought a tee shirt. Fine Art Of Surfacing. Wore it to death. Great night. It's a Rat trap Cardiff and you're been caught.
Odeon Birmingham in Birmingham, UK on Sat, 01 May 1982
My last time seeing the Rats before I left the country to travel the world... I think I queued all night to get a front row ticket!
Barbarella's in Birmingham, UK on Fri, 02 Sep 1977
My first visit to Barbarella's, after seeing the Rats at the Town Hall in June. I remember Bob Geldof smashed his hand against the low ceiling of the stage and was bleeding everywhere!
Birmingham Town Hall in Birmingham, UK on Fri, 17 Jun 1977
The band supported Tom Petty &the Heartbreakers this time... I sat with them in the audience after their set and we became firm friends, me watching them 13 times over the next three years! What an eye-opener this one was for me! (I have a recording of it, too!).
Odeon Birmingham in Birmingham, UK on Tue, 27 Jun 1978
One of the 13 (!) times I saw the Rats between 1977 and 1980 or so. After meeting them at their first gig in Birmingham in June 1977, I had to keep watching them :-) There's a picture of me in the Birmingham Evening Mail on the front row at one of these Odeon concerts! Probably this one?
