Club 1018
This was one BAD-assed concert if you know what I mean.
Club 1018 was a nightclub on 10th Avenue and 18th street in the meatpacking district. My first BAD show and I had no idea that this would end up being one of the craziest, hottest shows I have ever seen. Don Letts did his raps and scratch routines and the audience went nuts and was jumping high into the air during "The Bottom Line" and other high points of the show. The live versions of "Bottom Line" contained the "part 2" segment (which is alluded to but not played on the album track):
“Romeo Romeo
theres gotta be a show
Romeo Romeo
there’s gotta be a show
Well four more years of the same old jive
You know you must be one, you know you gotta stay alive
Take a tip from one who knows
I can find the way to go…..
We’re not talking about the Third World War or who’s not being fair,
We’re just saying they can drop the bomb and we dont even care
You cant assemble a tank for urban warfare
When you’re blobbing out in your living room chair …..
Bozo Bozo
Alcohol No No
Bozo Bozo
Alcohol No No
Remeo Romeo
there’s gotta be a show
Romeo Romeo
there’s gotta be a show
Romeo, Romeo, Romeo”
