I had a ticket for that too!
It was a Music For Nations tour and the other band was The Rods. I'd been looking forward to it for fucking months, must have been just after "Ride the Lightning" came out. Tickets were £4.50, (with a 50p off coupon in Kerrang!!). Me and my mate, 14 years old, went all the way over to Birmingham, to find the Odeon locked up and the "Show Cancelled" sign in the window (later to be found to be due to insufficient ticket sales across the whole country).

We ended up going around the corner to some shitty venue to see a band called Battleaxe. They were appalling.
