What 80's bands have you seen LIVE

[FearOfGhosts]

1) The most creepy band I've seen live was The Thrill Kill Kult at Numbers in Houston ( seen them 3 times and have to admit, they rocked live)
2) Also at Numbers... Love and Rockets ( Formerly Bauhas )
3) Nitzer Ebb at the Lizzard Lounge in Houston
I really wish this band was still around, what great live tallent.
4) Red Flag at XLR8 in Freeport, Texas... 1988 or 1989( why did they go there, doknow but it was cool)
5) Skinny Puppy at Numbers (also creepy, but I love 'em)
6) The Cure at the Summit ( Houston )
7) Depeche Mode
And a few rock bands...
