  1. Quite the treasure trove!

    I blame the collective bastardate for not telling me about the Au Pairs and Spizzenergi, among others. Shame on you.

    I confess I was hoping to catch some Pretenders and maybe, possibly early Stone Roses kicking ass at the very end. But no complaints. This is a stupendous tour.

  2. Interesting how US subculture led the way, while US mainstream culture lagged behind to the extent that a show like this would never have aired at that time.
