Hi – Any chance you remember if they played an encore ( or alternatively what song they finished with). I am interested in terms of something I’m writing?
Hi Douglas,
I honestly can’t remember — had never been to a concert like it before (or since). Over 30 songs played one after another and only lasting a couple of minutes each. Below are the songs I definitely remember them playing, but details about the encore (they did do one) are pretty fuzzy. Will check with my wife later, as she attended too.
Teenage Lobotomy (pretty certain they opened with this), Psycho Therapy, Blitzkrieg Bop, Do You Remember Rock ‘N’ Roll Radio?, Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment, Rock ‘N’ Roll High School, I Wanna Be Sedated, Sheena Is a Punk Rocker, Rockaway Beach, Pinhead, Somebody Put Something in My Drink
Cheers,
Geoff
