I went to the Limit once, but never again. I was too scared!

When people have to drink out of plastic glasses then you have to worry.

I went in once or twice as a youth.

I remember a few dodgy characters but never experienced any bother.

Went in a few times in the late seventies but preferred Crazy Daizy and Top Rank.

Used to go there in the early 80s but remember taking some friends from work there in later years. When we entered we thought it was empty but then realised that everybody, and I mean everybody, was dressed in black and they just blended into the black decor.

 

The bouncer in the early days was scary. He used to wear one black leather glove and gripped a short iron bar. Don't remember there ever being trouble at the door.

Great place and I have written about it in other posts.

 

How hard the Bouncers were etc, different to your modern day DB

Plastic Glasses

Which Bands seen there

Getting thrown out the back into Trippet Lane

 

oh and remember the last track of the evening, Eagles

 

 

All alone at the end of the of the evening

And the bright lights have faded to blue

 

Blah

Blah

Blah

 

So put me on a highway

And show me a sign

And take it to the limit one more time

 

Take it to the limit

Take it to the limit

Take it to the limit one more time

 

 

Happy days

The Revillos, Victor Drago band, Secret Affair, Phil Rambo band, Devo D-E-V-O. And a Francis Rossi lookalike who used to fly down the stairs attack a few punks, get 7 bells knocked out of him, cause a near riot, get slung out of the door by Egor then repeat the act the week after. Yes, happy days. Take it to the limit one more time...
