Hey Joyfish21 that would make you Lee's daughter or son? Love it I Lived in Fulham Court along with Billy and co. Mum and dad were great you know every Friday night playing cards with my mum and dad and not forgetting the dog Rex!

Thanks for all the comments. I first saw them at the UEA in 1985 supporting the Alarm. Country of the Blind came out as a single shortly after. I also saw them at Milton Keynes. The Eventide album was disappointing though - terrible production. As a live act I have rarely seen better - after 25 years of gigs.

seen them a few times easter parade was brilliant and when you sit and listen to the words it is still topical today

Saw these guys at the Hammersmith Palais, must've been spring of '85, supporting the Boomtown Rats, I think. Extremely underated and not at all surprising that they didn't get a huge amount of airplay on radio 1. I mean, how can you compete against Shakin' Stevens and Sinitta? Anyone got 'Easter Parade'? I have it on vinyl somewhere, I think it was on the B side to COTB. Your guess is as good as mine as to where in the garage it is. When I get a minute I'll dig it out. Thanks for posting

good band I remember taping the video from music box singer had a cool red harrington and that was good enough for my youthfull mod sensibilities.

Brings back brilliant memories following The Alarm all over the country. Saw them at some great little venues as well. The nuts.

Must have been taken from the tour with the Alarm? I seen the Alarm in Guildford on their 85 tour, the support band The Faith Brothers were much better. So I went to Brighton Dome to see them again...listened to the Faith Brothers and went home..loved 'em
