Glad I got to see the original-ish line up years ago.
RIP.

Edit. It was the original line up.

Bummer. I also saw the original line-up earlier that year at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, and they were pretty incendiary.

Also heard a live set on BBC6 Music by the line-up that had Andy Gill as the only original member and it just sounded ... wrong. Tight, but wrong.

Could have sworn I read somewhere recently that Jon King was about to do some shows with yet another line-up, but my memory could be at fault there.

He was part of many game shows I'd watch during the summer when I'd be out of school. Tic-Tac-Dough, High Rollers, Trivial Pursuit, etc. R.I.P.
The one I remember most was Tic-Tac-Dough. I also remember Jokers Wild from that era, but that had a different host.

Wink also appeared in a late-80s Quiet Riot video.

The Pajo lineup was inspired but I think I’m a pass on this one.
I saw Gang of Four about a decade ago, and it was probably the most awkward show I'd seen. It was at the Metro. Watching Jon King in his buttoned-down shirt with his leathery skin was creepy. Thankfully, Dave Allen was not in the band, it was some younger guy. He seemed to know when to leave things...

Pajo did the last tour (I missed it, but would've gone) and Ted Leo is on this one - I guess I can see that working? I might go just because....

This came on randomly last night and I thought I'd seen most of the whistle test stuff worth seeing, but I hadn't seen this before and it rules.

Fucksake Dave, just came here to post Popey Mc Pokeington
LOL

As a recovering Catholic, I have somewhat mixed feelings. Not sure if I could ever go so far as to say that I'll miss a Pope, but let's just say that it's likely that the next one will be worse.

Remember, the one before was pretty terrible!
