What I am looking for is more than the "they were great. I went home" sort of thing. Lively, salty, indiscreet, blasphemous, drug-fuelled – I think there would be very little that is off limits. We are, after all, talking about the Joke here.

It doesn't have to be one of the oft-cited gigs (1979 shows, CND rally, Reading Hexagon, Porchester, Camden Underworld, etc etc etc), though it certainly can be if you like. It could just be a low-key gig that stood out for you for what could be a wide variety of reasons. Of course, it should be Joke focused but there is a lot of leeway to make it a slice of life, too. Perhaps you met the band, perhaps you hooked up with someone who then became a significant other, perhaps the band were the best thing you have ever seen (before or since). And don't hold back if you would prefer to focus on a night when they were, to put it mildly, not at their best. This is not an arse-kicking exercise but neither should it be an arse-kissing love-in.
