In the early and mid 80's there were just too many good bands touring to ever hope to catch them all.
This stash of stubs I found was just a few that I didn't have room for on my corkboard I had in my bedroom. There are a lot more hiding somewhere that just this dozen or so I found.
Had I been born earlier.. I would have made a point to see Rush, Husker Du, Pink Floyd, Queen, and The Clash. A lot of folks think of the 80's as of time full of nothing but new wave fluff and hair metal. There was some of that but some of the best/most influential bands were around then or making new music. Ask any modern rock band who they were influenced by.. a lot of them will answer Rush, Iron maiden, metallica, the clash, sonic youth, the cure, husker du, bad brains.
