THE END - The First Gig
Andy listens to how good the band sound during the sound-check for their first ever live gig!
Making some last minute adjustments before they go on! Baz sips a glass of water whilst hiding a can of lager in his other hand! Naughty boy!!!
They launch into their first song... I think it was a song called Dreaming of Me... I might be wrong though!
This is definitely Dreaming of Me - you can tell because Andy and Alan are in mid "ooh la la la"!!
Press play to listen to a clip of Dreaming Of Me
The crowd go mild!!! This is The End's rendition of Do They Know It's Christmas Time... perhaps it wasn't such a good idea to sing a song about famine while people are tucking in to a Christmas meal!!
They're probably playing Memory of Love here - that was the first song Andy and Alan wrote together.
Baz clearly enjoying playing in front of a live crowd... casually standing at the mic, singing with beer in hand!!! How Rock 'n' Roll is that!!! Notice the little SK1 keyboard on the table, this was a teeny tiny sampler that Baz had to play on one song. He had the chords written down in a note-book and dropped it on the keyboard causing it to make a very loud weird noise mid-song!
A blistering version of In Two Minds featuring Baz's legendary debut on the sampler!!
THE END - The First Gig
So, that was their first EVER gig... playing in front of the staff at the Debenhams Christmas party! Not a particulary prestigious event... but everyone has to start somewhere don't they?
Thank God they decided to ditch those hideous jumpers!!!!!
