I was at this show. May 27, 1985 (Memorial Day) at an amphitheatre on the campus of Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. It was a benefit show called the NC African Relief Concert. I still have the ticket stubb which lists the limeup as REM, The Pressure Boys, Me and Dixon and others. The Pressure Boys did a couple of reunion shows in May and some old friends and myself were remembering this very show. Good times, great memeories!

@ZRN959 just google any tab, tune A string down to G, E and e to D and d. use barre chords instead of power chords like x77777 instead of x57775. If you don't succeed, PM me and I'll try to help you

@qba5775 can you tab it out?

I do remember the Connells all wearing their Broughton gym clothes. Perhaps Jefferson knew of the Connells or something I can't remember the story of how they got on the bill but I remember the anticipation around them.

I don't know if it was a very early show. They would have had of have to be pretty well known to get on this gig. Hard to remember, long time ago. I had just returned to NC from Ohio after a 6 week recording school gig. I had some freinds who played in a band, we all hooked up, got drunk and high and had a great time. REM were rock stars in the south at the time, but still relatively unknown elsewhere.

Wasn't this the Connells first or a very, very early show? I remember this being an incredibly hot day and they were all in like corduroy??? I couldn't get over it
