My roommate Fitz and I sat main floor, seventh row on the left side, in the center of the wall of speakers stacked up on stage-right.

XTC opened with an electric set that set the tone for the entire evening.

The Police were on fire that night, touring in support of Zenyatta Mondatta, along playing a bunch of their early songs.

My favorite moment was the massive bass grove, during Walking on the Moon.

This show was one of the loudest I’ve ever seen.

For three weeks after this show my left ear had a horrible whistling hum, that sounded like it was constantly shifting pitch, higher than lower.

It was MADDENING, thankfully it ended.

Wear Earplugs…you’ll thank me later.
