# Steve Strange Days indeed
but maybe I'm getting old but can't help thinking stuff was so much better then.

# Nostalgia..
not like it used to be ;)

I loved my youth. It was all over too quick.
I saw Duran Duran before they had a hit single out. Saw Ultravox on the Vienna tour. Can't remember where I saw Visage play, it may have been supporting Spandau Ballet ( because they certainly did not have enough material for a full set of their own ).

Ah, I'm an old new romantic ;)

# ........Ultravox went downhill when MIdge Ure joined
First album with John Foxx was good stuff...

# Duran Duran on the other hand were better after a few years...
when Nile Rodgers produced Notorious for them...now THAT was good stuff

# I can't disagree with you
but still can't avoid the fact that I saw Duran Duran and Ultravox in the small and cosy Manchester Apollo ( Take that kids, when we went to see bands we could still see the stage!) and remember having a jolly good time. ( I was front row for Duran Duran around the time they released Planet Earth. I recall being slightly scared by Nick Rhodes. )

Oh yeah and Billy Currie blew me away the first time I heard that electric violin live on the Vienna tour.

Interestingly for me I have met Dennis (John Foxx) a couple of times at events in recent years. He's not what you would expect.
