I was 17 in '77 and the Punk/New Wave scene changed my life in ways that still reverberate. I wish I had the time to put together a post like Rokkr, but right now I don't. (BTW: Great Post Rokkr.)

Rokkr,

Wow. what a great post! You inspired me to join just so I could respond. Personally, I'm 47 and missed '77 & most of '78. But I jumped into the "new" music scene full force in '79. I loved the Clash, the Jam, the Buzzcocks....etc. I was lucky to

The Paradise was a great place to see concerts in the late 70's and early 80's. Gary Numan played there during his 80 tour. I was in college in Vermont at the time. I can't remember why I couldn't get to that because arrangements had been made to go bu

The most memorable shows that come to mind at the Paradise were, Echo & the Bun
