Some notables, that aren't embarassing...

The Replacements and Steve Earle in NYC
Neil Young and Sonic Youth in Philadelphia, (the hippies booed Sonic Youth until Neil came out and played with them)
Bob Dylan backed by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the Grateful Dead at RFK stadium in DC, (the last show before Jerry Garcia died, the first time...he went into a diabetic coma after that show) it was about 130 degrees on the field, and I wore a black flag t-shirt to the show! That's about all I remember.
Way too many punk rock shows that were incredible 4 band bills, for $5 at the Khyber Pass Pub, The Trocadero or Club Bacchanal in Philadelphia!

I also saw Cinderella at a bar in Northeast Philly, why? I don't know. It was scary, hair metal chicks have NO sense of humor, many should have fore-went the spandex!

OH YEAH - the Hooters and the Stray Cats at the Philadelphia Zoo ( I quit my fast food job to go to that because the manager wouldn't let me off work, and then my mom was so mad, she 'got me' a job at the dry cleaners, which was not only toxic, but horrible! It was worth it!)
Robert Hazard and the Heroes and Cyndi Lauper after a Phillies Game at Veterens Stadium,
The B-52's and Peter Gabriel at the Robin Hood Dell,
Dire Straits at the Dell,
and Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, 4 rows from the stage at the some theatre in Upper Darby! That show was awesome!
