I went to the New Found Out in Newport South Wales in 1984 when I finished my apprenticeship and then again in 2011 when I had to renew the nippers passport a gap of 27 years.
The beer hadnt changed much it was still shite and the barmaids were still ugly.
You’d have seen AC/DC in 1981. I saw them a decade later in 1991, which was one hell of a gig. It was one of those periods where Phil Rudd was out of the band. As a result, they played a lot faster than they did on their studio stuff.
I saw them close out 1991 with this at the ripe young age of sixteen. Unlike me, or the band, this’ll never get old.
I did indeed @pap and they were very good. Mind you I don’t think they’ve really written any new songs since Back In Black
Prime reason for Going in '81 was to see BOC unfortunately they were shite, but did see them at a warm up gig as as Soft White Underbelly before though and they were excellent.
Also Blackfoot were excellent
Worst bit was being hit in the back by a bottle of piss - those being the days when beer / cider mainly came in bottles & no restrictions on what you could take into gigs…
