Wally
We can't see you but we can hear you 👍 Cool cover.

6:07 PM, December 9th, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers Wally!

6:11 PM, December 9th, 2023

Jeb
Nice Sabbath cover!

6:20 PM, December 9th, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
I heartily agree Jeb!

6:20 PM, December 9th, 2023

Eddy
Hey Wally and Steve …..I hear you !

6:55 PM, December 9th, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers Eddy!

6:57 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Hi Eddy! Hello Jeb 👋

7:03 PM, December 9th, 2023

Jeb
Hey Wally!

7:04 PM, December 9th, 2023

Eddy
Until this day , I cannot get enough of Joy Division, they would have been perfect at the Beacon Arms lounge ☠️

7:07 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Saw Killing Joke in 1981 at the Police Picnic outside Toronto and I remember Roch trying to interview Jaz Coleman and it didn't turn out as he expected as I don't think he was really much for interviews. Sad to hear they lost Geordie Walker.

7:08 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Hey Eddie, it would have been cool to see Joy Division live, especially in a small club. The closest, my brother and I got was seeing New Order's first show in Toronto at the Masonic Temple but it was a different band by that time

7:11 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Sorry that should read Eddy 😖

7:12 PM, December 9th, 2023

Niall
That cover of Season of the Witch was amazing!

7:16 PM, December 9th, 2023

Eddy
Hey Walllllly , saw new order at the old congress centre late 80s, just got a call from Big Al …..gotta go, , sorry about the spelling 🤣

7:20 PM, December 9th, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Any slip=ups tonight I get to blame on the absence of spectacles. No, not in the exhibition sense. Eyeglasses. Squinty radio...

7:33 PM, December 9th, 2023

Big A.
Big Al here. Hi Wally & Steve--Wazzzzzup??

7:34 PM, December 9th, 2023

Big A.
Playing the heavvvvy tunes??

7:35 PM, December 9th, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers Niall.. an oft-covered tune given a definitely unique arrangement.

7:38 PM, December 9th, 2023

IanJ
Hey Wally, I was at the Police Picnic in Oakville, too! Killing Joke playing in the blinding daylight.

7:38 PM, December 9th, 2023

IanJ
Oh hey Steve! Thanks for the tunes!

7:39 PM, December 9th, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Hey Big A, what's up in Ottawa in early winter? You've lived it... you probably don't miss the snow... downpour here tomorrow.... says so in the bottom corner of my laptop. Sunny and warm your e3nd, no?

7:42 PM, December 9th, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
ThaNks for popping (and listening in) IanJ!

7:42 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Hi Big Al, hope you are doing well and enjoying nicer weather than here 😂

7:46 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Hello IanJ and that's cool and some great bands played that day if my memory serves me well with The Specials, Iggy Pop, Nash the Slash and John Otway and the Go Go's. Probably not the best place or environment to see Killing Joke

7:49 PM, December 9th, 2023

Dave JC.
Just popping my head round the corner to say hi. Been out and about but listening in the car. Good stuff.

7:52 PM, December 9th, 2023

IanJ
And Oingo Boingo , too, Wally. Nash and John Otway both had their sets cut short, sadly. It was a great day for music, though.

7:52 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Yes that's right Oingo Boingo also played there. The Police Picnic and Heatwave the year before were great festivals and introduced many great bands.

7:55 PM, December 9th, 2023

Big A.
Sunny & warm for sure, Steve! Hope you're doing well, been a minute! Don't miss the weather, miss the people I know & loved tho'..In touch with Mark Bartlett quite a bit, guess you are too..I see the show is ending, I'll get with the show earlier next time! Buddah Bless y'all, Happy Holidaze!

7:57 PM, December 9th, 2023

Steve Kirkland (host)
Cheers (and Cheer, holiday wise) Al!

7:58 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Enjoying The English Beat song

7:59 PM, December 9th, 2023

Big A.
Hi Wally, hope you're doing well too, and yes, the weather is somewhat better! Ha! As I mentioned to Steve will get with you earlier on the show next time--all the best old friend!

7:59 PM, December 9th, 2023

Wally
Thanks Al and will catch you next time. Take care!
