yes, here we are once again, look you see. it was so that on this day in history in 1987 (if you happen to be reading this on January 10) that i had the honour, the privilege and the sheer joy of seeing Frankie Goes To Hollywood, live and in concert, at the Manchester G-Mex.
it's a date, or perhaps better, anniversary which i select and elect to mark. well, why would you not.
does the memory not fade, at all, over time? a little, i suppose. but, also, seeing them, my all time top band of all time, feels fresher and more recent than anything (much) from the 90s, for instance.
anyway, over the years i have probably written and spoken of the gig in just about every way possible, probably twice. let me just rather leave this snippet from the gig below, then. sadly audio only, but i have made a bit of a video to go with it. assuming that sound and video on this blog work just fine on whatever device you are using.
not the greatest quality recording, i know, but the greatest in generosity was shown by someone in passing along a copy of the actual concert i was at. indeed, the performance there was of Relax, which Holly introduced as being a "blast from the past". undoubtedly a fraction of the screaming and shouting from the audience you can here came from my very direction.
oh, yes, i am fairly sure another noting of the date, and another selection from the gig, shall appear right here on this blog again next year. maybe the one, after too.
should you have stumbled upon this from a search because you were at the gig, or are just a Frankie fan, then nice one and welcome!
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
