4. Good Guess!

A wrong one, but a good one, nonetheless.

[underpants]

7. REally? That was completely a BS guess

Trying to make the funny.

[BurtWorm]

18. The Cowsills performed live all the time!

I saw them at Sturges 1976, in their biker outlaw phase.

9. XTC had a side project?

[XNASA]

...but a psychedelic side project. Read about them here.

12. Actually, it looks like I'd like the Dukes of Stratosphear more than XTC.

[Brotherjohn]

3. Dukes of the Stratosphear.

Andy Partridge has great stage fright (although I believe he has played live, but very seldom, with his more famous band, XTC).

[Screaming Lord Byron]

6. The Dukes of Stratosphere. I'd recognize the Red Curtains anywhere!

[XNASA]

8. Yes. It's the Dukes.

I just saw a clip of the final 30 seconds or so of the last time that XTC played live in an electric/full-blown/concert setting.

Right in the middle of "Respectable Street", Andy puts down his guitar and stumbles off-stage. And that, as they say,.....was that.

11. The Blues Magoos?

I'm going to keep answering, btw

[eek]

13. I saw XTC live and I have the Dukes on vinyl

ain't i sump'n? B-)

[XNASA]

14. Oh yeah.................well...................

Well I saw 'em thrice!!!! Including two nights in a row.

Don't have the Dukes on vinyl though.

But, yes.....you are sump'n. :-)

Where'd you see them?

[jpak]

15. I saw them in Athens GA in 1981 - REM opened

One of the best nights of my life...

[XNASA]

19. I saw them two nights in a row at a suburban Chicago club...

Called 'Haymakers'. Can't remember who else played.

Then a year or so later, I saw them at the University of Illinois-Chicago in the Student Center. That would have been just before the end of their touring days. Nobody opened that show. What fun.

[eek]

25. DallasTX, Moody Auditorium(SMU campus)

or " Big Deal" as we used to call that one-horse burgh.

Opened for the Police , of whom I was already well sick of by then.


And yourseff?

[XNASA]

26. See post #19.

I once saw a video of Andy playing with the Police on stage singing "So Lonely".

That didn't happen, per chance?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

16. Is it Menudo?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. Scritti Politi?

[MissMillie]

I think I saw them at Glastonbury one year. I think.

[XNASA]

23. Glastonbury, huh?

Didn't you get the message while you were there...

"Don't take the brown acid, people. People, please, do not eat the brown acid."

That might be why you think you might have seen..........
