Tour Rookie
Going to see the Specials tomorrow night some 35 years after I first got into their music during the early TwoTone days. Anyone else indulging themselves with band revivals to bring back teenage music memories?

Trouble is my youth was the '60s and a lot of the band members and singers of my era are no longer with us.
I know that they were the "leaders" of the The Who but Daltrey and Townshend are only half the band so I will be giving the 50th anniversary tour a miss. Felt the same last year for The Beach Boys.
So many of the soul and Motown artists also gone, RIP Jimmy Ruffin.
You should go see The Who, they are still well worth the ticket price.
I saw the Specials at the Ricoh two years ago, great night. Went to see Big Country 3 weeks ago, and that was another top night.

In your youth in the mid 80's you were into Wham you liar
Not one this year but for the last couple of years there have been Wonderstuff, Pop Will Eat Itself and Jesus Jones gigs at Xmas. If there is one next year or another Beds Atomic Dustbin Nedstock show then I am there
Yeah OK so you got me on that one. I'm going to see Madness at Xmas and also have tickets for Erasure and the Human League in December too. And Martin, you'd know the guy I'm going to see the Specials with - you once mooned live on Capital Radio with him.
