Respect Kernow… I would loved to of seen Thin Lizzy and absolutely Bob Marley and the wailers.
I guess going to concerts is like (or can be) a time capsule.
For me seeing The Jam, The Clash and The Stranglers changed my outlook on life at the time.
Late 70s early 80s was a depressing time in the UK.
Music and football was my only escape from reality.
Agree about small venues. Amager Bio in Cph is like that.I saw Midnight Oil a few years ago.
Think there was probably between 2/3 hundred people there |

No you’re right, it was always “ a concert “. I was just replying to the title of the post.
There used to be a shop next to the Gaumont called Bondage in General (I think).
Apart from the obvious they had records and cool band t shirts for sale. They also sold tickets for “concerts “ at the Gaumont. I remember in the mid eighties buying a U2 t shirt and tickets for Simple Minds. |

Thread | Life of a 3rd choice goalkeeper
at 09:10 8 Feb 2026
What a bizarre and easy way to make a living.
You train with the first team and have a kick about. Then you and the 2 first choice keepers together with an up and coming U21 keeper practice shot stopping, crosses etc…
So basically the club are paying for your fitness. How nice is that.
Suddenly the No 1 goalie gets injured. No 2 comes in and maybe you’ll be on the bench.
It doesn’t last long though as they sign an emergency 40 year old who has experience in the league.
So you’re back getting paid for keeping yourself fit. I don’t have a clue how much they get paid but I guess around 5 to 10 grand a week depending on who you’re “playing” for
In another life I’d like to be a 3rd choice goalkeeper 😬 [Post edited 8 Feb 9:45]

I agree. He just needs to kick it as far as he can, when he gets a back pass.
He made a complete bullsup at the start of the game, they should have scored.
He’ll learn. Definitely an upgrade on Baz and Mcer |

My uncle took me to my very first gig, I was roughly the same age.
It was Joan Armatrading at the Gaumont Theatre (I think it was called)
About a year later I regularly went with my brothers up to London and my first “proper” gig was The Damned. Saw The Clash and Stiff Little Fingers soon after. We used to get the paper train back to Andover. Going on the tube back to Waterloo was a bit scary for a 14 year old.
Definitely “Down in the tube station at midnight”…. |

Sometimes posters on here are like teenagers.
Yes the whole team could be injured. Just like every other team.
Get a grip and stop wetting the bed.
Try looking at football as an enjoyment and not bitter comments all the time . |

They too was far ahead of its time.
Weren’t they brothers, with the one on the keyboards looking like Hitler.
About 20 years ago I went to a rave (as you did then) and they played that 00 style.
It was epic…. |

I remember dancing to Tiger Feet as a nipper, still like the song 😬
I also remember in the late 70s , 10 years after its release MC5 and “ kick out the jams, muther fukka”. They were so ahead of their time.” Looking at you “ was also a song which could of been released 10 years later.. |

Showing my age now.
As I wrote on a previous post about songs which summed up your teenage years.
I thought what and when did you buy your first vinyl ??
As I’ve said for me was New Rose by The Damned and either Give ‘Em Enough Rope by The Clash or Requiem by Killing Joke were my first albums. I think it was around 1980 as a 14 year old i started buying records. I would also say early Cure get a mention too. |

We won, who cares.
Let’s face it being a Leicester fan has to be a bummer.
Around 10 years ago they won the premiership and qualified for the Champions League.
Now they’re losing at home to basically a 3rd division team….. |

Really…..
Paul Weller was an icon with The Jam . He branched out and did a French inspired album with The Style Council. That was it.
As a solo artist he’s done (in my opinion) better music than he ever did with The Jam.
I don’t think he split from The Jam to be French, he did it to come further in his career.
Otherwise he’d be banging out “In the city “ or “Eton Rifles” to this day….. |

Yes just seen that. 2 months before the Pistols released anything.
I just remember the band saying they released the first punk single, which they obviously did.
Think they’re still going today. |

That’s true. I would say late 70s early 80s was a game changer for me music wise.
I was about 13/14 years old when I first started buying records.
My first record I bought was The Damned, New Rose.
I think (if my memory serves me right) it was released at the end of 75. Before any one had heard of the Sex Pistols.
I think as a teenager then it was a pivotal era in music history.
Agree about Tubeway Army, I would also say early Kraftwerk. If you listen to Autobahn it sums up
going from the 70s to 80s. I remember watching the video, done in b/w and very bleak.
They set the trend for future New Romantics, most would admit they were influenced by Kraftwerk. [Post edited 31 Jan 7:31]

You’ve mentioned many bands that I saw live.
The point of the post was the tunes which made a difference in your life.
I can also say The Damned , Stiff Little Fingers and of course The Clash made a big impact for me.
I saw The Stranglers in Copenhagen a few years ago. Think that’s probably the 5th time I’ve seen them
They were all fantastic, but for me those three songs I’ve mentioned sum up my early teenage years. |

For me, I’m 60 this year. My top three which bring back memories. For good and bad reasons are of course from the early eighties . They are , The Jam ( Down in the tube station at midnight),
The Specials ( Ghost town) and Joy Division ( shadowplay).
Listening to it now its all quite depressing. I guess though being a teenager in the early eighties it was like that. That’s why I think (for me) these songs sum it up then.
If you’re roughly my age, what were you listening too

It would be suicidal to sell Arma now.
In the summer then yes. Get rid of Archer, Aribo and Edozie for now. Then get a good striker from League One. Best way forward me thinks….. |

Scienza has to be the highlight of this season.
I agree, to get 4 points from our last 2 games is a sign that they’re at least fighting for the club.
A mid table finish this year would be survivable. Then hopefully we can sort it out in the summer.
I know that probably won’t happen but we as fans we can only hope. |
