DL and I met our friend Pete at the Vickery Station in Fort Worth, Texas to see Divine perform!

Drove out to the Circle "A" Ranch in Dallas to see Black Flag, meeting DL's nephew G Jr.

John Lee Hooker at Poor David's Pub on Greenville Ave, Dallas, with DL.

DL took me to Dallas, to the Arcadia Theatre, to see Three On A Hill open and X headline.

Great show, Dave Alvin was playing second guitar for this tour, with Tony Gilkyson as well.

Of course that meant no Billy Zoom... which was a bummer.

First time seeing my favorite band of the eighties, thanks for the birthday present DL!

DL, our friend CC and I went to Reunion Arena to see Tina Turner. Outstanding!

Bo Diddley at Poor David's Pub in Dallas with DL. The New Bohemians opened.

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts at Arcadia Theatre, with Flash Kahan opening, with DL.

DL and I visited the Arcadia Theatre to see:

This would be the nicest venue I ever would see Black Flag in.

North Adams Armory to see:

Sound was bad, the vibe was weird. Best memory was St Vitus sounding just like a Black Sabbath album, yet slower and more sludgy.

Attended a show at the Sons of Italy in North Adams, featuring:

Black Flag opened up with "The Process of Weeding Out" and I really loved Ginn's guitar playing.

DL and I drove to Williamstown, to the college, to see Waitresses and Gang of Four.

The Gang of Four were simply incredible, with as I recall "silence" where typically we would hear a guitar solo taking place.

The expanded T-Funk version of Talking Heads, with DL at SPAC.

Outstanding event...

Setlist:

DL and I would be taking the first of two summer trips to Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC), this time to hear:

Unbelievable show by both bands.
