Varying mileage--I remember thinking that Fridays was painfully unfunny, but 
they did indeed have cool musical acts.   I missed most of The Clash's 
appearance, but I recall The Jam singing "Private Hell" and KISS doing "The Oath" (a 
somewhat strained version, actually, but it was enough to hook me on the 
song).
