Well, I had to look it up but apparently not. 'Sweet Dreams' came out 2 years later and I definitely saw them in October 1981 as part of Freshers' Week at Aberdeen University. Annie Lennox comes from near Aberdeen, which is probably why they were booked; we have the same accent!
I looked it up and it seems that 1981 was the year that Eurythmics debuted. So you went to see their gig right after their debut. As you said, "Sweet Dreams" became a hit two years after their debut.
Same age as me! I think my first gig was The Eurhythmics, two years later when I began university.
Wasn't that around the time “Sweet Dreams” was a hit?

Like I said, she was local, and local bands get local gigs …
And still they vote

Great memories, captured.
That's a great idea for a post.
懐かしい歌です。吉田拓郎、キャンデーズ、木綿のハンカチーフ、井上陽水、沢田研二、など、大好きでした。あの頃の、歌謡曲がすきでした。過去は戻らないけど、思い出は、永遠です。😭🥹🌸
思い返してみると、歌謡曲やフォーク、演歌、ロック、ニューミュージックなどがゴチャ混ぜだったあの頃の歌番組は楽しかったですね。
Wow thank you for these moments in time! The mixtape is especially 懐かしい…木綿のハンカチーフ! As soon as I saw the title the song came right back into my head!
Thank you. Music is like a time machine that takes us to wonderful times.
These were all happy timestamps for me, until I saw the last one😧
When I saw the news, even I, who lives in Japan, thought, "Seriously?"
