<br>Dead or Alive on the other hand was possibly the worst show I ever saw "live" though. At Malibu on Long Island they went on at 2AM on a weeknight, and Pete Burns lip synched, flipped us the bird and spent more time with his (thonged) ass in our face than facing us, then left after about 20 minutes. The worst part was I was answering phones at show sponsor WLIR-FM the next morning at 9AM and had to field irate calls from those who felt ripped off of $20 (high for 1987) for the half-assed show DOA put on.
[/quote]HA!! So someone else here was at that gawdawful gig.
I still tell people about that show and how 'Petey' pranced out on stage in front of a less than thrilled goggle eyed workday crowd @2am (we were there since 10 F'ing PM!)
Needless to say, he was pretty miffed by the lukewarm reception, then suddenly stopped in the middle of a number and said something to the effect 'harumph..You guys are too laid back' and stalked off the set.
What a pompous arse he was..
Funny, about 9 years later DoA came back for a mid-summers afternoon gig @The Bridgeview in nearby Island Park for their 'Nukleopatra' release. There were tops, about 50 people in the place (including the wifey & I)
We barely gave them the time of day, though they did do a kick arse rendition of Blondie's 'Picture This'.
((Golf Claps all around)) Heh.. Heh..[}:)]
