Husker Du's first "Album" was land speed record, they played the main stage of Glastonbury in 1987, middle of Friday afternoon, finished with "Ticket to ride". Back in the days of dogs on site, park your truck and camp, tattooed faces. Eavisi's Dickensian vibe. I believe the tickets had a face value of twenty pounds although by no means compulsory.
As for Black Flag, I'm pretty sure their first UK gig was supporting the Exploited at the Rainbow, Finsbury park round about 1981. Hawaiian shirts, sneakers and buzz cuts. Half a second gap between tunes. All the soaped up Mohawks totally confused. It kicked of as the Jam were playing the Sobel Sports center round the corner and the Exploited's last song was "fuck the mods" Nice.
I hope that's not to much information.
