Thanks Simon for sharing these. This is history and these pics reflect that atmosphere. I wish I could be there.
Talking about photography, I say it is an art. It does not have to be a pure reflection of ambient conditions you encountered. It can be surreal. It's all good. You could use some tricks in the old days to make pictures look better (it is so subjective anyway), and you can use tricks to improve them nowadays too. Technology made it much easier these days, but in the end, it is the final effect that counts. Whatever you do and however you do it - if you like what you see, it is good. Just my take on it.
...Well, he's a big star now but I've been a fan of his for years. The way he sings and plays guitar still bring me to tears...

Fantastic, thanks so much for taking the effort to share.

Although you do seem a bit obsessed by David's arse.  :o   ;)

That hardly qualifies as arse now, does it? It's just the top of his legs

And the specification for an 'arse' Val is?  :)

I thought perhaps you might want to bare one purely in the interests of science! :)

Simon, I think what Val meant is that it was not her but Rollergirl more or less who was "arsey" enough to bring up the "arse" theme...  ;)

I wasn't me who said arse first, it was Dusty!

What I meant is that to qualifies as an arse, you have to have some more meat on it, otherwise it's just the top of your legs.

Yes, I'm the arse man, I admit it.

Don't know if DK's rear qualifies as an arse or not - he's certainly been accused on BEING an arse on ocassion.  :P

Translation for American users:

Arse - ass

Translation for European users:

Ass - donkey

Simon, thanks for posting. Do you remember how full City Hall was that night? I can't imagine that they could fill a place of that size in '79, but maybe I'm wrong?

Hi Dan the City Hall holds 2,000 and it was indeed sold out. Communique had been released and Lady Writer had been featured earlier that year on a programme hosted by Melvyn Bragg called the South Bank Show. Ticket sales were slow but as it got nearer the date they sold well.

The band had just come off a fairly lengthy tour of clubs and university gigs so were making a name for themselves. I had their first album in early 1978 and even then they had a following.
