i saw them at Shea Stadium on this tour. The Clash opened- there were a lot of Clash fans there too. What a tour - !!1

@cabowabo63 cool.....I was sitting above the dugouts on the lakeside of the stadium. The other thing I remember was the grounds being general admission. I watched a guy who obviously waited all night to get in. They were only letting a couple hundred in at a time. When his turn came he couldn't find his ticket so he jumped the barricade and ran into the stadium. A bunch of security guys chsed him. Don't know if they ever found him....lol

[cabowabo63]

@zeets93 Yep.. don't remember the balloon's though.. do remember the shit being passed around.. maybe that's why I don't remember the balloons. My girlfriend and I where right up front.

[zeets93]

@cabowabo63 yes it was raining. I also remember a bunch of balloons floating around that said Happy Birthday John, as it was Entwistle's b-day.....Joe jackson was mad because evryone was throwing frisbees on stage, and I believe hit the girl playing bass. Joe then said something like "I wrote the songs, if you don't like 'em throw stuff at me"...and then came the hotdog!

[cabowabo63]

@zeets93 I was at that concert also. Right up front. And remember Joe Jackson getting hotdog'd off the stage. Also remember it raining..

[whoooru]

@zeets93 LOL i was a bit too young to make this concert but i vividly remember my older bro telling me about the hot dog incident!!

[zeets93]

@AM12345 I too was at this show. 14 yrs old my first concert. I remember Joe Jackson getting boo'd and then having a hotdog hit him in the face!

[AM12345]

I was at this show and had no idea audio of this existed. Glad to see it. I was also at the December 82 show, that is everywhere. Anyone know where I can get the rest of this show?
