Saw SLAB! at the Goldsmiths College in Deptford in 1987 as part of an all-dayer headlined by The Weding Present.
This was just after they released their mini_LP (effectively a compilation of their first two 12" plus an instrumental) "Music For The Iron Lung"
The full 10-piece line up was onstage - I still say it was one of the best sets I've ever seen
Tried to get a fanzine interview with them afterwards - my calls were fobbed off
I later met Paul Jarvis who told me that the reason they couldn't do interviews at the time was that the band was going through a crisis that eventually reduced the band from a ten-piece to a trio!
