I also went to see West Coast rock bank, Spirit, at the Finsbury Park Rainbow in early 1978, and sat in the bar during the two opening acts--the first one was a brand new band named The Police.

There is nothing not to like about Squeeze
They are local boys to me too. I have seen a couple warm up acts that then go on to have a couple hits but nobody that then went big.
Mostly, I have been fairly lucky at getting into bands, such as my second favourite band , when they are playing super small gigs and then following them through the years from venue to venue until they are suddenly playing big stadiums. It feels weird when you remember a band playing to a handful of people with no stage set behind them and then years later you are seeing them in some massive venue with pyros.
