The Go-Go's
A Flock Of Seagulls (Mike Score)
ABC (Martin Fry)
Naked Eyes (Pete Byrne)

I was fortunate to meet Mike, Martin and Pete after the shows, talk with them and have them sign my album but The Go-Go's wanted no part of that, they still put on a good show!

I met Keren and Sara of Banarana as well in NYC, gotta love VIP access!

Anyway, I look forward to 2007 I already have Jonathan Richman booked for next month, and possibly The Smithereens as well. I saw in 2005 with Joan Jet and TMBG but only caught the end of their performance.

Short list for me.

Joe Jackson
Asia
APB

I have seen some of my all time favorites..
fixx twice (hung out with Cy and the boys)
Outfield (twice)
FOS Mike, and he was very nice.
Berlin (that is a story all to it's self)
Motels
and being in radio I have had the oprotunity to see a ton of rock performers etc. (I don't want to show off)
But I didn't get to see Pet of Naked eyes on of my favorites and Martin of ABC my alltime favorite band.
Was it a good show???

"Saigon...still in Saigon..., Been here a week now, waiting for a mission, getting softer. Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker, and every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger."

I only saw Echo & The Bunnymen and Depeche Mode this year...how sad!

Agent Orange
The Prids
The Epoxies
Buzzcocks
Morningwood
The Fixx
Burning Spear
Toots and the Maytals
Third World

We don't get many "current" bands, or the old New Wave faves, but we do get a ton of reggae, which I love.

I didn't go out much:

Franz Ferdinand
Jamiroquai
Ian Brown
