That tour back in 1982 was in support of the New Traditionalists. I saw Sandii and The Sunsets many times back then and I met the band on two occasions. I still collect the odd Sandii CD now and then. Cheers, John. Dion, I did sense that they were really having fun the other night. That tour back in 1982 was in support of the New Traditionalists.

Nowadays they're doing it for the love of it more than anything, I think, whereas back then it was a career. Out of curiosity, John, was the '82 tour in support of New Traditionalists or Oh, No! It's DEVO? Thanks for the link back. P.S. Unrelated: I think I'm the only person I know who remembers hearing Sandii and the Sunsets on the radio circa '84. Really frustrating. I can imagine that.

It was an amazing experience indeed. As I mention I saw Devo at the Hordern back in 1982 yet I feel the gig last Friday was tighter and far more enjoyable. Devo was simply having a great time and enjoying themselves. Back in 1982 I felt that they were going through the motions. What a wonderful night you experienced Dion. Cheers, John.
