I'd add 'Just for a momet' from Ultravox! 'Systems of Romance' where birds nesting in the studio can be heard chirping in the background. Definitely a Conny Plank champagne moment.
Grateful that I saw JD (B'Ham last gig & Malvern), Neubauten (Halber mensch-era), Swans 85 & 88, Bunnymen several times at their Zenith...big walls of glorious noise all.
I would add Rowland-era Crime & The City Solution, early Bad Seeds & Pornography-tour Cure to that list. Performance as therapy.
Been a very long time since I saw a show that had that kind of an impact - physical as well as aural - rather than just entertaining.
