I saw them in late '81 at Dooley's bar in East Lansing, MI. I guess that officially makes me Old. The show was sandwiched in between shows by Johnny Thunders and Steel Pulse and The Stranglers and the League of Gentlemen, among others. I wasn't old enough to get into the Tubes show in '75 (even when the drinking age was 18, sigh.)
(East Lansing, a cow college backwater where I spent ten formative years, had a pretty vibrant music scene back in those days; IIRC, Chad Smith of the Chili Peppers was in a long-forgotten band called The Generics, and Steve Shelly from Sonic Youth was in the infamous Crucif*cks, which oddly enough tended to have problems booking gigs and made no friends with local law enforcement when they played a block party with Millions of Dead Cops. But I digress, as usual.)
Rattle and Hum shows just how much those guys could rock back in the day. Highly recommended. "A Musical Journey." heh
