<<REM outside somewhere at Rutgers University while the sun was setting.>>
I saw that! Busch College, May 1985, with the Neats opening. Probably still the best concert I've ever seen, tied perhaps with Devo at Rutgers in 1981.

* Devo: Rutgers College Gym, 11/81
* PiL: Busch College Student Cent

The first concert I ever attended was the Alarm. It was during their 'Strength' tour in 1986 when I was 14. The Long Ryders opened for them.

Depeche Mode "The Singles" was the last concert I've seen (been a lil while).
Id have to say that the best trip concert would be the Cure - Wish Tour... Glad Robert Smith didn't see me after the concert. He probably would have just smiled and shook
