[NILBUD14]

SLF did two Bob Marley covers - This one & Johnny Was - Excellent band - They were my fav band as a teenager - saw them in '82 in the TV club in Dublin and again circa 2003 in The Paradise Club Boston

[TheD3mac]

@NILBUD14... this isn't Bob Marley...it was originally a Bunny Wailer tune which SLF added lyrics to...great tune tho...one of my all time faves

Now this is real rock n' roll...

Saw these guys in the mid 80's at "The Channel" in Boston. They opened with this number and it was great.

First band i ever saw live and it was amazing i was only 12 at the time and now 16. no one else my age even knows of this band which is a great shame

[hooper604]

@dioplaysbass123 I'm 16 and they are one of my favourite bands!

[LorrunP]

@dioplaysbass123 No one else your age knows of Stiff Little Fingers? I wouldn't be so sure. I've been listening to punk music since I was 11 (now 21), and even though many kids might not know of punk from the 70s and 80s, I believe there's still a lot that do. This generation isn't completely lost :)

[mentalcherriesrcool]

@dioplaysbass123 I'm 17! :) People who don't know this band/ bands from this time are missing out on some of the best damn music, from the best damn years!!

[BrankoFez]

@davyroppaslf1 I was at that concert too....I'd just turned 16years old and it was the first time I'd seen SLF live....but certainly not the last.....definately one of the best bands I've seen live - and I've seen plenty!

[davyroppaslf1]

I agree mate - it was awesome. Seen Jake and the lads many times since, however there was something special that night!
