Hey Jeff, fellow Last-Show attendee here! We communicated a couple years ago. I was on the balcony (or I believe it was called Mezzanine) center front. Remember there was an intermission and it was super looooooonnnnngggg? Didn't know if the band were coming back out or not! Also do you remember, I am pretty sure they opened the set after intermission with All Along the Watchtower. There was a really long lead-in, and the stage was black except that a film projection of shapes and/or letters was running up over the stage and band. Oh and, the warm-up act was Jools Holland and His Millionaires. I had forgotten about all of those, but you are indeed right dons! Thanks for the memories (singing in Bob Hope voice.) Cheers! Hi again Jeff, I have a question, it looks like you have the ticket stub from that last show in San Diego. Was it April 3 1982?? Reason I ask is, that was a Saturday, and call me crazy but I thought it was midweek... Ah well, if that is the stub, that settles it, lol. Did you also say you had unused tix from the next night at Hollywood Palladium? Hope all is well with you.

Saturday April 3, 1982. I had just moved back to my hometown of San Diego from Montana.
I didn't have a ticket to the cancelled LA show - had no way to get there if i did. I was fortunate later that year however to see both King Crimson and the Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" Big Band at the Greek there. Great year for me, 1982.

Cuba going into Generals and Majors was fuck great go mad when I watched them live. Yeah the Cuba intro alone was phenomenal. And the middle bit in "Melt The Guns" where Andy went off on us Americans and our firearms proclivities. Oh, sorry - you didn't get to see that.

Happy anniversary to the last XTC gig (the actual show, not the thread), on this date 38 years ago. I never got to see the band perform, as I was only four when they stopped touring. If only they could have made it one more year--I was the world's coolest five-year-old.

You might see them live at the 2021 UK/USA reunion tour. Thomas Dolby will be replacing Andy though. Still worth a look.

I still have front-row tickets available for sale for the reunion tour with the original line-up, only $200 each. Buy them now before they are gone!

Does anyone happen to have a lossless copy of this rare show?

Yes, but since you are deleted, you are shit out of luck.
