25 Years ago - First PJ Show Tix Included - $25

A few memories:

1) Filling out real index cards and mailing them for chance of the tickets.
2) Picking up my buddy near the Nabisco Plant in NE Philly.
3) Arriving....more or less clueless to what we would expect. 
4) Realizing Row G was really 2nd row as Row A-E were non existent due to the stage jutting out.

attendance: 3,700

notes: Tickets to this show were available via a postcard mail-in lottery system. (More than 175,000 postcards were received!) Jack Irons is now officially PJ's new drummer. When Jack is thanked by Gloria Steinem, some members of the audience react by booing. Ed addresses this later: "... you miss Dave and I think that is really nice. But you should all thank Jack Irons because this band wouldn't be together today if it wasn't for him. He saved the life of this band, so thank him." 'Go' is dedicated to Dave. 'Act of Love' is played with Neil Young, sans Ed. Several of the performers (including Ed) attended a press conference earlier to discuss reproductive freedom.
