Dexys Midnight Runners Concert History

Dexys Midnight Runners - the name consistently spelled without an apostrophe - were a British post-punk and Northern Soul band who achieved their major success in the early to mid 1980s. The word Dexys in this case, comes from a colloquialism of dextroamphetamine, a type of amphetamine diet pill that was a popular 'upper' drug with England's Northern Soul scene in the 1960s.

How confident are you that this tour list is complete? I swear that I saw them at Radio City Music Hall in NYC in 1982 or 83, while I was working at Polygram Records. Amazing concert, really brought the house down. I’m 99% sure it was at Radio City, but it was a long time ago and I may have seen them in the UK and someone else here…
