Does anyone have either the 89 or 93 Dallas show?

both Dallas shows were played at Starplex Amphitheater (now known as the Smirnoff Music Center).
And I haven't been able to find anybody who has either of the shows...and I've looked!!!

ok, thanks. :)
Bill's???
of course...I've also checked with all the major collectors of New Order gigs...and as Tracey said, I've never been able to find anyone who has either gig....
I would almost be willing to bet that they don't exist...but hey...who knows???
went to bills, and sure enough they didnt have it, at least i couldnt find it, it could be there, after all, the place is fairly unnorganized:p i also checked out a place in arlington called forever young, and they didnt have anything either..
fook me...that's right...I forgot that was on Retro...so I reckon somebody has it...but Hooky hasn't returned any of my phone calls!!!![]()

Sorry...should have told you not to waste your time. While both are good record stores, neither have much in the way of this type of item. They used to several years ago, but all you'll find there now are your standard domestic and import releases.
Bill's...unorganized???
That's a bit of an understatement isn't it???
I'd have to venture a guess that the local trash dump is more organized than that place...does Bill still charge less if he thinks you're cute???
I was always much more impressed with RPM in Garland...Randy was much nicer..he's the one that got me my import of Republic, so I didn't have to wait for it to get released here in the states...and he also arranged for me to get a copy of Academy that I could play in my VCR...
I wonder if RPM is even still around...

I think he still operates that way... must be why I never got a discount.
Bill's definitely had its day back in the mid 80's to early 90's. But now, its just as predictable as the next record store (if you can find one).

Randy sold me a converted copy of Academy too. Have watched it a million times...
Sold me my all region DVD player and a PAL copy of the 316 DVD too.
Unfortunately, RPM has been closed for a few years now. I think Randy found that he could do more business on the internet than he could in his bricks-n-mortar store in Garland. Oddly enough, I've never run across him on the internet.
Nice guy...hated to see him disappear.
I remeber when Randy brought back a whole box of Run2 12" singles from one of his UK buying trips. Wow, that was a long time ago...
If I could ever figure out how to upload images to NOOL, I'd post Gillian's setlist from the 1993 Dallas show, as well as my ticket stub. I think I have a ticket stub from the 1989 show as well. But alas :(
You'll need to host the scan on your own webspace and link to it, or mail a scan to the webmasters. Alternatively, mail the scan to me and I'll host it.

what...Randy had some of the Run 2's???? I need to go to my mom's and see if that's one I have stashed at her place...I had a setlist from the Revenge show in Dallas, as well as the ticket stubs from the two Dallas shows, and the Houston show in 89...for some fooking stupid reason, I let my now ex-wife convince me to toss them out...no wonder I divorced her!!!

uhhhh....still can't believe I missed the '89 Dallas gig and the Revenge gig here in '90![]()
Yeah, Randy brought back a box of 20 or so Run2 12" singles right after it was released. No idea how he got them, but he was selling them briskly if I recall. All unplayed.
For those of you saying "so what" this was back before the ease of finding things on the Internet and before good distribution. The store's owner, Randy, would fly to the UK and bring back suitcases & boxes full of new promos, full lengths, videos, older singles, and weird stuff. The guy who owns FOrever Young Records used to do the same (and why can't I remember his name?).
Speaking of the Revenge gig, I seem to recall when I was working at KSMU we had an interview set up with the band, but it got canceled. We did have a sweet autographed promo poster up in the studio of the leather chick...
