    I was there. The arena in the mall.  First show, the Rolling Stones, 1981, Hartford Civic Center. The only reason I got to go was because it was the Stones. Remember it like it was yesterday and still a top ten show.  The Stones are responsible for my 40 year concert habit.

    Oh man, I wish I'd seen the original group with Henry Vestine, or even the earlier days after Harvey Mandel came on board.  By the time I say them, the only guys left from the early days were Fito and The Mole.  Fun to see, but not the same!

    That was a good start for you. Did you know of them before Beds are Burning? Always curious if people knew their early & best work before the big hit

    I don't think many folks in the US heard of them until MTV started playing Beds Are Burning.

    Growing up my neighbors were in a band called Foolin' and they set up in our backyard for a block party in 1985 and jammed all kinds of Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, and assorted covers until the cops came to shut it down (my Dad said it was someone who didn't get invited that called). Anyway, that was the first time I heard live music up close like that. Also, my Grandpa let my parents borrow his 100 lb video camera and we still have the set on VHS, haha!! I should totally transfer that and share it with you all. Little 7 year old 2-feign-reluctance dancing and losing his little mind, hahhaha!!
