Royal Festival Hall, London, England, United Kingdom (1984)
One of those evenings you never forget. All seated. Subdued for the first few songs, although Your Silent Face was written to be played in places like this. Took my camera down to the front during Leave Me Alone, Barney then asked everyone if it was only “photographers that are allowed to stand up”. All rise. A new one, “I’ve got a cock like the M1”. Doubt it’ll be called that on the next album. Encore. Hooky: “You know this encore’s costing us 400 quid, that’s a bit more expensive than your fiver innit?” Then the familiar drums. Surely not. It was. I had never seen a song affect a crowd like that, at once uplifting yet tearful. Where had they been?
