The Rats 'known tour dates' says the Rats played Brunel Uni, Uxbridge on 4 december 1982. That is the only Uk date listed since April and May when they did an extensive tour. Not sure if the 'known dates' is comprehensive, but no mention of Wolverhampton in Nov 1982 there.
Weirdly they did a few dates in California and Canada in late 1982.
Yeh saw them in the May at odeon new street brum on deep tour so was surprised when my fried said about nov 82 so mystery there unless he got his times mixed up,
Thanks for finding this video Mark.It's great to see all these long lost tv performances- without the Internet doubtless they would never have seen the light of day again.
Wonder did Bob do 'baggy' long before the Stone Roses, Carpets etc, judging by that t shirt. He seemed to be very fond of these t -shirts in the eighties. Lol those old '80s radios on the backdrop. Used to have of those.
Finally wish they had performed the song live. Must be a bit of a drag to turn up on the tele and have to pretend to be playing the guitar and piano etc.
