Got dropped off by my parents & went in on my own & had never been so scared in all my life. Place was jam packed with punks. Don't remember much about The Members set. Just know I was glad to get out of there in one piece.

Black Shadow Member Joined: Jul 2008 Bahamut Lagoon	My first gig was an Eagles concert when I was 14 (it wasn't my idea, it was my dad's). Even though I wasn't a huge fan, I found that they weren't too bad. I don't know if this would qualify as my first proper gig outing but the first gig I went to without parental supervision (I was 18 at that point) was to see - John Foxx.

Brian I know exactly where you're coming from Brian I have to keep double checking !! Frightening ! I see you last home game is against us on 14 May you never know I might be asking you to sort me a ticket , you never know work commitments and cheap flights allowing . The last time I was at The Hawthorns "Big " Ron was in charge (I'm sure we've mentioned this before) I'm sure I've also asked you this before did you ever get to see Steel Pulse ? they were from Handsworth weren't they ? [/b] As a season ticket holder I'm entitled to buy one ticket only,and thats in our end.So You'd have to be very very quiet Nah never saw Steel Pulse,remember them being about though. [/b] OK mate Nearer the time . Re keeping quiet , I'm politeness itself I won't be saying anything anti Baggie , but I do reserve the right to shout "Oy Howard you f++kwit , that's the third time they've scored from distance , stop coming off your line !"

Have earlier memories of the Roadmender where I definitely saw at least UK decay, Antipasti and I think the Cockney Rejects. Started hanging around their when I was 13/14 (77/78) but fitting the pieces in order is difficult. Did go through an "Oi!" phase which amuses me to recall, and got into several 'chases across wasteland'... All a bit hazy...
