I think, from memory, that was the one where the Smiths refused to play cos Bay City Rollers were on the bill???I was at the Futurama 2 festival at the Queens Hall in Leeds in 1980. Virtually bottom of the bill was Soft Cell, who did a cover of Black Sabbath's Paranoid! Obviously the general reaction to the opening line was "you're not fooling anyone Son". That said they did a great set and won the crowd over. Wierdly the vast majority of the crowd that day were "alpha male" punks in Biker jackets, Jeans and Doc's. Most of them also had Adam And The Ants sprayed on the back of their jackets! Funny old world!

Ahh, was that the year PiL played behind the white sheet??? I went to two from memory, but can't have been as late as 83/4 as I'd moved to London by then...Not in 1980! Must've been few years later, 83/84?

Gotta say though the streams of pish running through the Queens Hall during the festivals will always stick in the memory
