I was lucky enough to go to The Gordons first and not last, ear-splitting public performance - late 1979/early 1980 (Hillsborough Tavern) from memory and they played this song twice as they only had 4 songs penned at the time, started just a few days before playing support for The Whizz Kids.One of the best live Kiwi bands ever!

I only saw them once live. It was at Hagley High and I found them a little boring to be honest. Harry Sparkle was there and in my mind he stole the show. I flatted with Alistair Parker in Cashmere for a year sometime after that. Nice guy but a little self-obsessed from memory.... He's lived the dream though so all-power to him :-)

I remember seeing them at the hillsborough community centre (about 1980, did the siphoners support?) only had about 5 songs; identity, paxt, quality control, head injury. For me one of best gigs ever. Never thought the records did justice to those early performances, but I suppose that holds for most nz music from back then.

The only thing that sucks about the Gordons is that you can't find their material easily in the States. That's just not cool! You WERE lucky to see them live!
