![]() tim from champaign (now washington): It was at the Newton theatre in Washington DC in --I'm thinking 1984. It was so loud it was painful. you could barely tell what song they were playing. As it happened they apparently blew a fuse on NA's Marshall stack, thought they had wrecked it and thy left the venue in mid song. Good show! (This may be one of the flyers I gave John Davis (Archivist U.MD College Park) for his punk Rock collection) |
