You left out the Band X
Alcatrazz never actually played AFAIK. The Circle Jerks opened (odd choice for an opener) and Alcatrazz promptly cancelled. No refunds were given.
I seen Guns and Roses there 3rd night !! Fantastic place
I saw the Psychedelic Furs there after the release of their first album. About 1980 – Great show!!
I saw Ricki Lee Jones on her Pirates tour there in 1981. She played there in 1979 as well after her debut album.
