Saw the B52s at Warner theater in Wash DC in 1980.

I saw the B-52s in Milwaukee sometime between 1987-1991. I don’t see it listed here. Can anyone confirm the exact date and who they would have performed with? I remember it sold out so I had to ask everperson coming in if they had an extra ticket.
