Julian Cope

at Liverpool Poly Student Union

Peggy Suicide Tour

Part of the tour where Cope played two sucessive nights in each city. Cope climbed up into the lighting rig during the first night and the front row had to hold the monitors steady for him to stand on when he climbed down.


One the first night someone from Island USA was taking photos, they lasted about two songs down the front. Later Cope claimed to have astrally projected! Both nights were excellent.

I managed to catch one of Cope's guitar picks when it was thrown off stage at the end of the gig. In the afternoon before the second gig both Cope and the rest of the band (Donald Ross Skinner shown above) stopped and posed for photos and signed the "Safesurfer" single I'd bought the night before.
