    Re: Concert Vault Feedback - Billy Idol show in Vault is NOT Oakland Coliseum

    This is not the Oakland Coliseum show from March of 1984 - this is a show in LA.  I was at the Oakland show.  I remember a lot of the banter between songs, including him smelling his armpit and saying, "It's not an odor, it's a Rebel Smell!"- he doesn't say that here.  And he also said something about MTV playing the crap out of "Eyes Without A Face".    He must mention LA about ten times in this broadcast, too.   "LA, you want some more?!"  I wish it was the Oakland show.  :-(  The Uptones opened the show for him and were amazing, then he slayed us all. 

    Duran Duran made a film of their shows in April at the Oakland Coliseum and released it as As the Lights Go Down" - I wish someone made a film or tape of Billy's show!!
