Reviews

I was there. We scored two promo tickets each, for my two record stores in Cincinnati, Ohio and Morgantown, WV. Robyn played outside in a parking lot before the big show, to the delight of those of us in line. Maybe I'll post a photo later. After the show, in a big hotel ballroom after party, an impromptu game of soccer erupted with most of the bands and a head of cabbage. A very RH moment with odd vegatbles....

Tickets were so hot for REM that in line, I was offered $800 apiece for my two. I passed. it was a unforgettable day.
