The legendary Cope self harming gig. What an introduction.
That tour was also the first time I saw Cope live, March 20th at Newcastle City Hall 1984 with a very sparse crowd and yes, The Woodentops, as support.
I still have the t-shirt from that tour, but it's now an absolute faded rag !!!!
I went back to the Newcastle City Hall a few months later in 1984 to see The Bunnymen on the 'Ocean Rain' tour and it was packed to the rafters;the energy from that gig was incredible and a complete contrast to Mr Cope's subdued appearance a few months earlier.
