Being from Bronte we knew what was coming we four wheeled into the back fields behind the venue in an old Bronco did some on foot bush crashing and hopped the fence at the back end it was a really good day and the Police ripped off an impressive show lots of Birds

Question, do you know anything about Radiohead's at Call The Office in 1995? I saw your post on Facebook, and thought you might know about it a bit about it.

I saw this show in Scranton. And while I was into metal like Judas Priest and such and was really starting to expand my musical genres, I was not aware of Ministry. And when they opened with NWO...everything changed. I've been talking with my 18 y.o. kid about this tonight, and it's just incredible what kind of lineup I got to see.

POPE JOHN PAUL II WAS POISONED BEHIND VATICAN DOORS.

California sunshine and i was completely floating during walkin on the moon and i wasn't worrying about breaking my legs .also i remember James Brown in a dress lmao didn't he start the show as one a the back up singers and revealed himself slowly by removing the drag show man that was weird i thought .

Is that scar tissue on his lip?

I feel like I've heard JD's voice in many voice-over and narration bits...RIP Stiv...I still do my 5k runs with your music dude 🤘

I was there it was great I actually got to see the Police play at the bar the EDGE before they hit it big there was about 50 people there. We were sitting at table touching distance from the band . Never heard any of their songs before it was their first appearance in TO . The Gary's were there Slaight from Q-107 Great listening to your experience brings back tons of memories. All the concerts at the Gardens all well LOL 😆

Grew up in Cleveland…knew these guys from the music scene we all played in……to a person…the dead boys were untalented assholes.

You always deliver such interesting topics

Stiv Bators was awesome.

Besides "Remain In Light" not having been released for awhile, Elvis opened with "Shot With His Own Gun", from the album Trust, which wasn't released until the next year! Just trying to help...

What’s the name of the song at 0:33?

I have a picture of my dad and Stiv on my fridge...I live in stiv's hometown and he was buddies with my dad...ive heard many interesting stories about the dead boys

Worked on this movie every night & day.

❤️❤️❤️

It was mid winter in the pool Moishe, cold af. Jeffrey, Eduardo and Kjell put up the tent.

I love how it's the doors fault that it caught fire

I very much agree with Robert about Warhol. Great interview, I’m glad I stumbled upon it.

Another great show! I really like it when Phil is on with you. I especially liked listening the Marc. His attention to detail was impressive. He remembered everything from the bus ride there to watching Brian’s hands strumming his guitar. 🎸

Hit by a car. Hmmm. Stiv knew a LOT. Too much?

wow! What a great podcast. I found you through a Stiv Bators interview and next thing I came across is OMD. And 1982 was a very important and successful year for them, at the peak of their success in Europe but still underground at the other side of Atlantic but with a dedicated cult following. I also remember vividly URGH a music war, it was played in the cinemas in Greece where I'm from. OMD's first four albums are incredible. What a brilliant memory to have! No matter the freezing cold I wish I could travel back in time and be on the cue waiting in frozen Canada to see them (after I waved them earlier at a restaurant)!!! OMD live up until 1983 were pure magic. So passionate with an incredible set.

🤪 Promo-SM

Every time the Jam comes up on a playlist, it brings me back to this show, my 17 yr old self. My buddy Shep and I were blessed to grow up in TO and have so many shows available to us. Your recollection of this period is awesome. Were you at the Gang of 4, Buzzcocks, Viletones show? You mention my fav Joy Division. They were booked at "The Edge" in TO, but 6 days before the gig, Ian carried out his own sad plan. The venue sign was kept up for many months, heralding a show that never was.

Cool dance party type show. I have better memory of the 78' Heroes show at the gardens.

Great concert. I went up on stage during "White riot" and Joe, surprisingly, pushed security away, and let me sing on mic with him for half the song.

Stiv was one of… if not THE greatest punk singer

Bowie was great that night. I remember there was a giant beach ball that was a globe of the earth. The ball made it onto the stage and Bowie did an Atlas pose with it. Awesome.

HI I'M THE CLASH....................Elvis Costello because those Socialists wanted too much MONEY and backed out!

Stiv was one of the funniest kindest person I've ever known. Thank you for this, he is missed so much.

Such a great loss. It's crazy how old he seemed at the time, we thought 40 was way over the hill. Now it seems young, he could have still been rocking in his 70's.

Very hot day at CNE that summer. Floors were general admission (standing). Spoons were great as were FOS. Funny how Gordon Deppe (Guitarist/vocalist for Spoons now plays guitar with FOS as they tour currently). However, Talking Heads were amazing as were the Police. 1982 was a great year for UK New Wave. Concert Hall on Yonge Street (North of Bloor) was the centre for many of these. Squeeze, OMD, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran (twice [July at Concert Hall and August opening for Blondie] at CNE), The Jam, The Beat, ABC, Spandau Ballet, Thompson Twins, etc. The Beat was there... Also played Concert Hall in December of 1982 and Kingswood Theatre (Canada's Wonderland) in April 1983. I don't believe Joan Jett finished her entire set. The roadies threatened to cancel the show but when she came out, she got pelted all over again.

Simple Minds played at Fry Fogles on Oct, 23 1981. They also played at the Talbot Inn on March, 19 1982. I looked it up online and saw ticket stubs and a photo from those shows.

I’ve listened to about 20 episodes so far. I love hearing about the shows, but I especially like the many references to London, Ontario in the 80’s. You are bringing up so many places that I haven’t thought about in years. I used to go to teen dances at the Polish Hall all the time. I had no idea there were punk shows there. I also read the book, Murder City. Great book! Fun fact; I lived a few doors down from an escaped serial killer in London in the 80’s. Anyways, thanks for the memories and I look forward to future episodes. Especially the Smiths, because I was at that show. My memories of the show are vague, but I remember what led up to the show like it was yesterday.

I thought I knew everything about the Sex Pistols and SNL, but I didn’t know they we’re supposed to do SNL.

It was nice listening to three different versions of your experiences at the same festival. It almost sounded like you were all at different shows, lol. I was always so envious of all of the older kids in my neighborhood who got to go to the Police Picnics. I was probably about five years away getting to see those shows. Also, it’s nice hearing y’all mention the old bars and clubs around London. I moved away over 25 years ago and I haven’t heard the names Mingles or Call the Office in years. Thanks again for these wonderful memories of yours.

This is such a great podcast. I am binge listening all weekend. Thank you for sharing your memories with us. This is bringing back so many memories from my youth in London. Did you happen to go to the Smiths or the Cult/Guns an’ Roses concerts?

I hate Andy and Bob Dylan and all the men in her life besides her brothers

I thought I recognized your voice from CHRW. I listened to that radio station throughout the 80’s

At first I thought they were on the same bill 🤣

What happened with him in 1990

Stiv, we will never forget you, my dear friend.🖤🖤🖤

Clem Burke is the best !

Re the Moog: I believe that Micky Dolenz was one of the first---- if not THE, first---people in rock music to buy and play a Moog on songs for his band (The Monkees). I recall he first heard the Moog's use in an old SF film from the mid-50's that he liked, called FORBIDDEN PLANET and fell in love with it.

Oh that Stiv... what a mischievous boy.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I often get the feeling, from history's "muses", of how much they remind me of unfinished symphonies and long-lost classic silent films from which just enough salvaged stills remain to make you wonder What wonders may have been
