I saw that show, too, October 12 or 13, 1982 at SHEA
STADIUM in Queens, NY. I think David Johansen was on the bill also.
Their famous three LP set was Sandinista.
Ironically I had to deal with a fan of the Saninistas, several years later. In 1985 I was the GOP candidate for City Council on the Commie Upper West Side of Manhattan. My opponent, who later ran for Mayor was RUTH MESSINGER. She was a big fan of Daniel Ortega, head of the Sandys. When he came to New York, they would shop together.
I tried to use this against Messinger in my campaign, but I was not able to do much with it.
Big Audio Dynamite, with Mick Jones of Clash never reached their fame or popularity, but they were an enjoyable outfit too.
I saw them at Rich Stadium , Orchard Park , NY. (where I grew up) which is now Ralph Wilson(Buffalo Bills)stadium.
The Clash opened that show.
I saw The Who again at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, but I think that was either 1983 or 1984. I don’t remember who opened the show.
I worked at the Carrier Dome when I was at SU between 19
83-85. I saw a lot of shows and games for free. I set up and took down everything for events production. The best $5/hr job I ever had. I met Springsteen, Sting, and a few others. Springsteen seemed like a regular guy. Prince was way out there. Sting was very aloof. I also got to see Patrick Ewing and Ron Seikaly play some great ballgames. I still hate Georgetown.
