The Way We Were


Channel 4 UK programme first broadcast circa 1984 / 1985-ish. Hosted by the late Tony Wilson, it's a compilation of performances by bands taken from his previous TV shows in the late 70's, such as So It Goes. Includes Sex Pistols, Clash, Buzzcocks, Iggy Pop, The Fall, Elvis Costello, Blondie, Penetration, Wreckless Eric, Ian Dury, Tom Robinson, Magazine, John Cooper Clarke, XTC and Joy Division - many of them making their TV debuts
(BIG thanx to commenter 'The Herb Whisperer' over at Dangerous Minds)
Will never forget Tony Wilson on Granada Reports (the 6PM news bulletin for the Liverpool/Manchester area) holding a microphone to incoming waves at Blackpool beach (?) asking "Is this the new wave?" LOL!
