551.12CURRNT::SAXBYIsn't it 5.30 yet?Mon Dec 04 1989 14:3714
    
    Only seen two groups this year, but one shone out...
    
    Level 42 - Wembley in February (or was it March?).
    
    A real show on a Monday night with the whole audience getting into
    it. The group's enthusiasm was extremely evident and the music seemed
    so much better 'in the flesh'.
    
    I also saw Gloria Estefan and the MSM which was a good concert,
    but somehow didn't really seem to warm up, despite the group's best
    efforts.

551.13Three GOOD times.CLADA::MEAGHERThese are the hands of a tired manTue Dec 05 1989 14:5812
	Haven't seen that many bands this year.

	1.  Something Happens - CJ's, Galway (all 300 of us had a great time :-)
	2.  Deacon Blue - Point, Dublin, 3rd Dec
	3.  Voice of the Beehive - Trinity Ball, Dublin  The show was great
	    despite resistance from crowd & weird singer.  (*I wasn't drinking*)

	Biggest disappointment of the year was Simply Red in the RDS, Dublin.
	I used to be a fan.

-Brian.
