Adverts Live at the Roxy in 1977

I got Sue to look at all the Adverts clips on Youtube and pick the best and she chose this one with them performing two songs 'On the roof' and 'New Day Dawning'. Her reason 'You can see the audience'. It is interesting to note the apparel of the fans - it's quite easy to imagine punks in 77 to look less normal but in those days people didn't often look that weird. Anyway there's quite a few classic moments to choose from - on OGWT doing 'Bored Teenagers' and of course on Totp doing the great Gary Gilmore's Eyes. I didn't know TV Smith and Gaye Advert came from Bideford, Devon, though.
