May 21, 20196 yr US Festival 1982. Gang of Four (physically missed), Ramones, English Beat, Oingo Boingo, B-52s, Talking Heads, and the Police (mentally missed). Hotter than fuck.
May 21, 20196 yr Unrelated, but I once saw Special Beat (a hybrid of The Specials and English Beat) at the Back Room. Holy smokes that was an amazing show, and I had almost zero history with any of that British ska genre. I sure knew the songs, though. They had permeated my brain through some sort of college radio osmosis.

May 22, 20196 yr Elvis at the HLS&R in 1974, i was 6. I kinda remember. My first real concert was the Who in the Summit in 1980 when i was 12/13 - it was in the summer and parents wouldn't let me go, so i spent the night at a friend's house and went with him and his older sister and her friends. Got high for first time. Parents later found out i went (a few weeks later) and i was grounded, but was worth it because i didn't have to hide my t-shirt anymore and could wear it to school like a boss the next year.

I didn't wear denim or leather, but there were a lot of guys who did. As for running down to the front, let's just say based on the age of the crowd that I saw, there wasn't much running ability left. A walker or two probably would have been welcomed.
May 22, 20196 yr Admit it, all day before that show you were thinking “just let me rock” quietly to yourself weren’t you.
May 22, 20196 yr My old man took me to see the Allman Brothers Band in the late 80s. Kept wondering why everything smelled like my dad's workshop. First concert I got tickets myself was GnR/Metallica/Faith no More at Texas Stadium in 92.
