    My sister and I attended the Sparks concert at the Anaheim Convention Center in 1983. The Bangles were the opening act. And Jane Weidlin showed up to sing "Cool Places".

    I taped this concert on VHS in 1983/4, and wacthed it about 200 times - so this quality is a bit like going back in time! thanks for the share - so nice that someone else has it and put it up for all to see!

    My sister and I are in the middle front row. I sent this to her, thanx! We had so much fun! After the stage turned ( the first time ) we were separated...I held my spot!!! By the fourth and final rotation of the stage, my sister was way way to the right of me...I stood firm and stayed dead center...bloody and a torn shirt from the passing speakers!!So much fun!! Awesome memories..proof there were the 80's and proof that we were nerds!!P.S. After the show...I was leaning on the wall by the front door..( with my war wounds ) and from the corner of my eye, I saw my sister..arm and arm, walking with Boy Geotge to his awaiting limo...Dang-it!!!

    Hello-Yes I am interested. All I know is russell was wearing the same outfit as he was here. After the concert we went backstage, and the drummer gave my brother his drumsticks, and the gave us a poster of all the band wearing Russell's glittery outfit, and they all signed it! I was dating Les Bohem the bass players niece. Thanks much! Paul

      God I don't need their albums to sound 'rockier'-I can get that crap from any kind of guitar-outfit designed to make noise and nothing else. Ever heard of synth-ROCK? There's plenty of that on their cool 1983 & 1984 albums!

    Romeo Void was a great Band that got dropped because the lead singer didn’t look like a model.
    Literally the record company didn’t want to promote them thinking they wouldn’t make it.

    I was at this concert, (paid as a dancer) I've never seen it, and I was hoping the whole thing with all the bands was uploaded. Is there any chance you have that footage available? I have another one that I danced on, with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Spandau Ballet, Roman Holiday etc. If you know where I can get my hands on this, would you please contact me? I'd be so grateful. Thank you! Great concert, by the way.

      I wish I had it. I just barely remember being there. We knew they were recording that night. We were pretty blasted. I know we had fun. I also know there were other groups there that night but I can't remember who they were. Just for the record, I'm a 51 year old dude and I look nothing like my picture...lol

    Ron and Russell doing everything they could to "break" America. Don't get me wrong. there are some great songs from this period but, to me, it always looked a little forced. I don't blame them, the US were fools not to get behind Sparks with Half Nelson/Sparks and Woofer. Two great timeless albums.
