This thread makes me envious.

I was too scared of punk in my teens in the mid-late 80's. :D But I would have loved going to the venues, no matter who was playing.

I just found out that a roller skating rink I used to hang out at on Friday and Saturday night had teen dances those nights, but anyways back in 1980 when I was a bit too young it had several concerts. Acts like The Clash, Iggy Pop, The Ramones and The Jam played there that year. Hard to believe such stars in a roller rink. God How I wish I was a bit older to have seen it.

A good friend of mine was at that Clash show; he, along with a few dozen other people who got there super early, got to go inside and watch the Clash turn their soundcheck into a mini-show. :D

The Pretenders played that roller rink at some point, too. :D
