A painful reminder of evil Gary Glitter is followed by timely relief from the Waterboys! Thank you, Mike Scott & Co. What a song.
Welcome back, Simple Minds and Big Country. And great vintage cuts from CVB and the Roses. Nice show, Matt!
Nice Ramones cut as well. Not very many fans of “too tough to die” era Ramones but I dig it.
