Foxboro '87. I got sunburned
Foxboro '87. I got sunburned and took too many little pieces of paper. The band sounded terrible and I was immediately put off by the uncouth exploits of the crowd, who were reveling in the mediocrity being displayed.
It put me off so much that I only went to see them 127 more times.

Glad you came back after
Glad you came back after Foxboro 87. No one would have thought less of you if you never came back after that clunker. It's good you survived the post show war zone in the parking lot.

I was enjoying some old shows
I was enjoying some old shows I attended back in the '80's. My first show was 4-21-82 Nassau Coliseum. I would say if was a solid show. My first great show was Meadowlands second night (Love the One You're With)

Likewise, Tim - Not my first show but it was my first and only GD NYE run and that 30th was a real smoker too! It was pretty wild how different the first 2 were from the last 2 as well (27th & 28th vs 30th & 31st).

84 first and only New Years
84 first and only New Years run. Though didn't see the 29th. NYE was epic. 28th Jerry was not running on all cylinders but was an ok show. Though they did play the first Day Tripper as the encore.
