11-8-07: Iration opens for the legendary English Beat at the OC Tavern in San Clemente. The Beat, as they are officially called, is a name synonymous with the late 70s, early 80s two-tone ska revival music scene in the UK. Excellent show at a great venue with good friends. I am grateful to have been able to experience and see this group.

(If you can help me with song titles, it would be appreciated.)

Rasta1982 Party on man. This was always my favorite Beat song and forgeting the shaky video---THE AUDIO ROCKS. Dave, as always, sounds great! Very few of us can do things just as well or better than we did 25+ years ago.

Yeah, you just keep dancing and dancing enjoying all the hits!

Funny you mentioned that, David Steele and Andy Cox both from FYC played with Dave on the Beat.

For some reason, these guys remind me of Fine Young Cannibals and maybe even General Public - weird huh?
