Should be a blast!! I expect to arrive accompanied by one of Ready Records earliest acts[?][;)]

This should be a great show. Never seen Blue Peter live- really looking forward to it.

Anyone care to post a review of the show? I couldn't make it and am wondering how it was.

What's the best way of getting to that club by ttc, down to College and then bus or streetcar across?

I was at the show, and personnally preferred Blue Peter's set. I think they remained true to their New Wave roots; Paul Humphrey (lead singer) has a great stage presence, kind of a combo between Ian Curtis and Brian ferry (which he sounds a lot like!). The set list included Radio Silence, Chinese Graffiti, Same Old Song and Don't Walk Past, all of which were fantastic!!

Spoons put on a good show, but I think they play up the RAWK aspect too much, ruining (for me) Nova Heart. That's my opinion.

Your travel instructions are exactly what I did.

Sounds like it was a fairly good show. I wish I could have gone. I had seen both way back in 1983 at 2 separate Pub nights for George Brown College. Even back then I remember Blue Peter putting on a better show. I wound up going club hopping with the band (Blue Peter) afterwards. Great bunch of guys.

It was an excellent show! Spoons do put on a very good set, make no mistake about it.

The only downside for me (and I traveled from NYC to get to the show) was the fact that Steve Blimkie was a no show (family/holiday commitments).

Thanks for the review! [:)] I just had too many Thanksgiving preparations going on, to make it. Last time I saw either band live was at the Ontario Place Forum, back in '84 (IIRC).
