And what did you think about that Pistols show over at the Lesser Free Trade Hall?

I'm surprised that you didn't start your own band.

Cracking good mate. I wanted the distinction of being the only slouch not to start a band...so cliché you know?

In reality, I can't remember how many times I saw X, Oingo Boingo and Spark around the LA area - probaby around 10 each. Those were really the only multiple ones from back in the day.

Lots of bands once;
only Duran Duran - 3 times ('82, '84, '03)
The Epoxies - 3 x
The Prids - 2x
Dub Syndicate - 2x
Burning Spear - 2x

I have no "bragging rights" !

Depeche Mode - 4
New Order - 2
The Cure - 2
Ministry - 2
Thrill Kill Kult - 2
Opps sorry forgot a few....
Duran Duran - 2
Culture Club - 1
Oingo Bingo - 1
