I was 10 in 79 & remember at 11.59 saying to my friend "I'll see you in the next decade". Being used to just years changing, a whole decade was changing. We were easily pleased, but it was simpler times.
Remember listening to this live whenever it went out live on Radio in Ireland epic entrance

Brilliant New Year's celebrations and U2 playing lives, excellent. My only complaint is people wearing those silly hats I have never worn a party hat at any time during my 102.5 years of life and I never will
