The Jam were also on the bill, and got no respect at all. Horslips had just released this album, which got a fair amount of airplay on KSAN at the time. It was about as close to the big time as they came out this way. Great band, good memories.

I saw them in 1978, too. I also have two of their alums on vinyl. I haven't listen to them since around that time. I might have to revisit them.
