Sham69 at the Apollo. Pursey was drugged up to the eyeballs, the band were shit and failed to complete the set.
Pursey walked off the stage...seats were ripped out in disapproval and the travelling Sham Army complete with black cap sleeve 'Sham Army' t-shirts, brought it upon themselves to do the job of the security with disastrous results.
By far the worst gig I've ever seen and as a young teen the most frightening.
I also remember thinking it was brilliant too, but for all the wrong reasons.
