“82”
Pretty sure Big Country were the support band when I saw the concert at the Birmingham Odeon on that “82” tour, for the life of me I can’t remember who the support band at the Hammersmith Odeon was and I went to all 3 of them ? Sure a lot of you were there. Can only think we must’ve stayed in the boozer till the main act . Did look in the history, but couldn’t find it. This just goes back to a conversation I had with a mate about if we ever saw Big Country in their heyday.

Re: “82”
I'll always remember the end of Shaphire's set at Glasgow. The singer said words to the effect of "I love you Glasgow. I love you so much I'm going to leave you my jacket" at which point he took off his patch-covered denim jacket and threw it into the audience near me. It landed directly on the lap of a fairly young kid who just stared down at it for a few moments as a longhaired bloke in the row behind reached over and grabbed it.
The cynic in me believes he was just after the patches.

Re: “82”
It's been pointed out that for YEARS I've had the bands name misspelt!
It's "Sapphire".

I’ve just listened to the Glasgow 82 Lp ago finally got a copy. Loved it. Along with the original group this is my favourite Alice period. I’ve got a boot of the show too but this was well worth adding to my collection.

Re: “82”
Those of us at the gigs in '82 can now relive the support act thanks to everything in history being somewhere on YouTube. Here's the A and B sides of their one and only single.
