Just looking at the gig listings is blowing my mind.
Occasionally the listings for the I-Beam, a SF club that was a five minute walk from my apartment show up, and all of their listings from the early 80s are insane. It'll be like Siouxsie and the Banshees, followed by Dream Syndicate followed by The Cure. All in a small club with a huge sound system.
Great resource, Tom! Thanks.
