GC. ‘Do Right’ Cabaret Voltaire

Don’t Talk To Me About Love by Altered Images

First concert - Styx, Climax Blues Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd here in the St Paul Minnesota-a friend won free tix and we saw a lot we had never seen before.. it was quite crowd..

First: Van Morrison / Mike Oldfield double header, Belfast 1980

Second: The Rolling Stones, Slane Castle 1982

“Do You Remember the First Time?” by Pulp (saw them for the first time in Hollywood last year - I remember it well!)

First two concerts were Depeche Mode (Violator) and Sting (Soul Cages).

Don’t Try to Stop It - Roman Holliday

First Gig - the Rolling at St James Park with my big brother in 1981/82?

Second Billy Bragg at Leeds Poly in 1985

Beatles, Love Me Do..
First concert was Gladys Knight back in the 70’s at The London Palladium, then Luther Van Dross at The Hammersmith Apollo, not long after sbx

So many, but the first ones that come to mind...

Do Nothing - The Specials
Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) - Frank Wilson
Do You Remember The First Time - Pulp
Don't Call Me Baby - Voice of the Beehive
Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John & Kiki Dee
Don't Fight The Feeling - Bobby Newton

1st concert Pete Seeger around 1970ish, I was around 10, and 2nd Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons, 1975.
Do Anything You Wanna Do, Eddie and the Hotrods

i got the live music bug so did these :)

First gig GC was Paul Weller at Crystal Palace as I loved very close by in 1997. Went with a mate. Tried to act like big men but efforts were undermined by being next to a woman out mother’s age who kept asking if we were hungry and wanted a sandwich. We were too polite to move. (2/2)

Afternoon GC what about “do nothing” - the specials ; “the way you do the things you do” - the temptations ; “don’t play that song” - ben e king or “don’t worry be happy” Bobby mc ferrin
(1/2)

Hi Gary - 3 by the Ramones: Do You Wanna Dance? Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio? Don't Come Close. Excluding being taken to see Kiki Dee at the Leamington Spa Centre in 1974 (aged 10), first 2 gigs were Stiff Little Fingers at Birmingham Odeon and The Damned at Birmingham Top Rank, both in 1980.

First 2 concerts...

Japan - Leicester De Monfort Hall on their final tour, c. 1983. Went on a coach with my friend Sid as we didn't get big gigs in Lincoln (our home town) back then

Marc Almond - Coventry Poly, fresher's week 1985. First of many gigs there, where I really caught the live music bug

Where do you from ‘The Wall’ at Earls Court as your second gig. You peaked pretty early!

Oh and “Don’t Dictate” by Penetration.

From Essex and first two gigs were The Damned at Rayleigh Crocs in 1983 and a local band The Beat Of The Beast at The Castle pub (bit of a legendary goth/punk hangout) in Brentwood just after that.

the first thing that sprang to mind was the police track, but thats de do do dah ?

then do the hokey kokey popped in my head

dunno what i was thinking ;)

anyway, 1st gig was the scorpions, hammy odeon, november 1980 (i was just 15), 2nd was probably floyd - the wall the following year :)

Expect an hour packed so tightly with classics and newies, it can only but explode out of your listening devices 😉

Remembering Frank Wilson on his birthday. This test pressing of his Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) is on show at Third Man Records in Detroit. The price Jack White paid for it is secret, but it's been claimed to be the most expensive 7" single ever. Another copy went for £26K in an 2009 auction. THREAD

Sad news to wake up to.

I remember he came into GLR for an interview back in the 90s. Maybe with Johnny (Walker) and the building buzzin’ with excitement.

What a talent …what a legacy.

RIP Steve 🙏
