“The Damned were kicked off the tour before it reached Manchester. They were replaced by The Buzzcocks.
The tickets were sold through the Virgin record shop. It might be time playing a trick but I remember the ticket as an orange colour, similar to the SAHB one shown elsewhere. As they were ripped in half on the way in I never had it to keep so can't be sure.
I've always been surprised that there aren't any photos from the night around as there were many tabloid hacks and photographers there, obviously hoping to capture something to feed the fires ignited by the Pistols appearance with Grundy. If anyone knows of any pics I'd love to see them!
The night ran late, the Buzzcocks opened and were still trying to master their instrumentals, and while you knew something very special was happening just how monumental could never of been imagined at the time. We just felt angry and very different from all the fools.”
