I thought they were a couple of roadies doing a sound check and completely ignored them27th July 1979
Newton Arms was my watering hole around that time Mark but had a ex school mate around Hodderway & used to call in at the Falcon vaults occasionally for a game of darts & decent pint of thwaites.Glass Torpedoes too.

The main draw was its semi snooker table. There was a full on league for this size back then. Good but a poor reason for missing g out on Joy DivisionAnother one who used to frequent the Falcon occasionally.
I seem to remember there was a snooker table at the Highcross as well. Or it might’ve been a pool table. Or that might have replaced the snooker table. Or I could be completely wrong.The main draw was its semi snooker table. There was a full on league for this size back then. Good but a poor reason for missing g out on Joy Division

10 bob was a lot in them daysI was ripped off then.

Heard that Walt Disco were the support act for this tour.Yes saw them at the O2 Apollo Manchester in March. They were brilliant playing all the old stuff and new off Bauhaus Staircase which Is a great album.
If I had a Time Machine this might be one of the first gigs I’d travel back to see!I went to this one and Joy Division with a big draw though also local band Final Solution were on bill. Joy division were the big draw. They had just been on Tony Wilson slot on granada reports the night before. Great bill
Saw them at Saffron Walden with Soft Cell and Heaven 17 last AugustAnyone seen them recently?
And AC/DC played there in 1977If I had a Time Machine this might be one of the first gigs I’d travel back to see!
OMD and Joy Division in 1979… wow. Even thinking that they played at the imperial, which isn’t far from where I grew up in the 90’s is slightly surreal to me.
I'm nicking that.
1979. Me and my sister were thereCan anyone help me can anybody remember the year OMD and Joy Division played in a concert at the Imperial thanks.

I was at the gig that night. I thought Walt Disco were quite good. A bit different! I liked the animated drummer. He was fun to watch.Heard that Walt Disco were the support act for this tour.
Were they any good?
Stealing Sheep were VERY odd!2019 supported by MiG15 (McCluskey's lads band)
2021 Architecture and morality tour, supported by Stealing Sheep (scouse girl trio)
OMD are brilliant live.
It's only been the last 20 odd years since I've seriously gone to gigs. Regret not doing it regularly in my younger days.
No ID needed back then, as long as you were 5ft+ with a bit of bum fluffAnother who used to frequent the Falcon school lunchtime, often forgetting to made the afternoon lessons
Much as I loved. Neil Peart and agree with the widely held consensus that he was probably the greatest drummer ever, for me. If I had a time machine, rhe first gig I would go back to is a John Rutsey era Rush gig.If I had a Time Machine this might be one of the first gigs I’d travel back to see!
