Oh wow, corry you're right. I have a vague memory of that show. That's 8...but I am pretty sure there are a couple I don't remember, possibly in Oakland.

My distant memory is that you weren’t even going to see U2–must have been for Romeo Void. As I recall, you told me there were about 100 people there.

The old crass Vegas was a site more pleasant: you could see the desert when you needed some destimulation, and the thrift shops were troves. My grandmother lived in the north side, peaceful then, crime-y now. Speaking of crimes, the proposed A’s stadium is supposed to be close what used to be a quite bearable hotel, The Orleans; I always recommend it, but t I probably shouldn’t because I haven’t been in years.

I’m glad you went to The Sohere so I didn’t have to

Based on my recollection of your concert life, you saw U2 at the Old Waldorf March 19 or 20, 1981 (opener Romeo Void). U2 opened for J Geils at SF Civic on March 29 and 30, 1982
