The Mission were a cracking live band, saw them numerous times and every show was spot on.On record i could take or leave em. My brothers mate who roadied for them said they were all lovely blokes and Simon Hinkler used to play some absolutly brilliant stuff at soundchecks that never made it onto record.
The saddest thing i ever saw was visiting Leeds a couple of years ago, 2 couples fat and fortyish, in the full allblack white slap mode still yearning for 1984.obviously the world hadn't moved on for them for 20 years.
