Looking for help with my memory on this concert (Stiff Little Fingers at Brighton Centre). I have this distant recollection that the show finished with a cover of ‘Teenage Kicks’. But have asked Google, and can’t find any trace of it. Can those who were also there confirm or deny? Or share...

June 1979 for me - Rockpile (featuring Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe) at Hammersmith Palais. Supported by The Specials. A great introduction to the joys of live music

Too many options. But taking the choice of 10 minutes of glorious listening as opposed to choosing ‘Teenage Kicks’ or any similarly short songs by The Jam, Clash etc. So Jungleland it is……

Great choice Norman. Hoped ‘The Drivers’ would get a mention - they were a great live band, and Mak Norman (bass guitar) is an Albion fan. This video is a little dated (1983) - and was a live favourite.

First ever concert for me was Edmunds and Lowe (and Billy Bremner and Terry Williams) - Rockpile at Hammersmith Palais in 1979. Set in place a love of live music - they were excellent. As were the support act, The Specials. Saw Rockpile several more times before their early demise….

So many to choose from. Would class myself as a fan (just back from Dublin, off to Prague next week). Favourite? Probably Jungleland. Closely followed by Incident on 57th Street. And then………

On my way home from Springsteen’s Hyde Park concert. Really enjoyed it - so have to class myself as a fan

Hammersmith Palais - 1979 (or possibly 1980) First act was Lew Lewis Reformer. The ‘main support act’ was The Specials. And headline was Rockpile - Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. The two main bands were excellent, and have lead to a lifelong love of live music

Another vote for Bruce Springsteen from me…..

I can thoroughly recommend avoiding Magnet’s fitting service. Third rate at best in our case……after a successful claim to the Furniture Ombudsman and a claim on our credit card we are still out of pocket. The actual Magnet product (work surface aside) isn’t too bad

Springsteen & The E Street Band Dave Edmunds & Nick Lowe (Rockpile) The Jam

First: Rockpile (Nick Lowe / Dave Edmunds) supported by The Specials, Hammersmith Palais, 1979 Worst: After the past year, it is difficult to think of any live music as bad Best: Springsteen - always been a great show, would probably choose Independence Day 1985 at Wembley Stadium

Has to be Jed Bartlett (Martin Sheen) - West Wing.

Agree with previous posters that ‘Born To Run’ will be difficult to beat. Jungleland and Thunder Road are timeless. But - the new album is the real deal. Just hope that we get the chance to hear it live (any spare dates in 2022 at The Amex?)

Rockpile was the first band I saw live - at Hammersmith Palais, with The Specials as support. Not a bad introduction to live music - Google reminds me it was June 1979

Sadly not to be....but would be great if it happened. Mak Norman (bass guitar and vocals) is an Albion fan, so if he sees this....

Reckon Norman means Earls Court rather than Wembley...... New album? From early listens it has some very strong tracks. No ‘Jungleland’ or ‘Incident on 57th Street’, but this songs were unique. Looking forward to a tour in 2020

There is a speedway track round the pitch. Must be 40 years ago I visited to see a big Eastbourne win....

She's The One - Bruce Springsteen (or The Drivers - or The Ramones) 3 different songs for the price of 1....
