Terry and Gerry - Live At The ICA Oct. 1984 Part 1

This is part one of four posts, all of them live gigs from the ICA in October 1984. I think there was whole week of gigs and these were my favorites. Part two will be 'The Very Things', Part three 'yeah Yeah Noh' and the final part 'Marc Riley and the Creepers'.

So first up the great alternative skiffle band 'Terry and Gerry', I still think these guys were one of the best live bands ever. Their recordings whilst good, never captured that feeling when you saw them live. Gerry was the master of banter and the band managed to get audience involvement on just about every song (which I have never seen again). This was clearly something that developed over the years as this earlier recording does not have so much audience participation as I remember.
