	🎸 ♥ 6:24pm Candy-O'67: Hey RKO and everyone! Tuning in!
	♥ 6:24pm Chris Crash: If I ever meet The Dickies, I'm going right into talking to them about Gigantor and Giant Robo, even before introducing myself.
	♥ 6:24pm Mike Sin: Enjoying the show! Didn’t get down to City Gardens that much, but the four or so times I was there? A lot of folks getting bounced out of the club! Of all people, Lux Interior had to even ask from the stage when I was there, “Why is everyone so crazy?” :)
	6:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Gigantor
	6:24pm City Gardens OG: fun fact, Leonard would get that warble in his voice by flicking his finger against his windpipe. when it wasn't in his ear
	♥ 6:24pm Dave the Spazz: This is great!
	6:26pm City Gardens OG: If you look at this decendents photo, you can see a very young RKO bouncing in front of Milo

	6:29pm City Gardens OG: Zander Schloss played on this tour.
	6:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - Chris Cornell would kinda karate chop his throat to get them autotune sort of interval leaps ...must be a word for that...
	♥ 6:30pm TonyR: What shows, Mike Sin? The hardcore shows at the Starlight Ballroom in the early 80s in Philly were no picnic, between the out of town thugs from DC and the Kensington locals who wanted to beat up ANY punk rocker, without getting the nuances.
	♥ 6:31pm TonyR: Have a bootleg DVD of the Cramps at CG 1982-ish. Phenomenal.
	6:31pm Andres: Hey, RKO! Late but in time for Fishbone! Saw them first time ‘91. Still up there amongst fave shows ever!!
	6:32pm City Gardens OG: @Christina Ginger, its on in about 5 minutes, its some of Lux's finest work. and def not PC

	6:37pm Andres: Hey, Mom Whig! Just arriving. Lovely day here for a beverage with the neighbours.
	♥ 6:37pm LesleyK: Cramps, some of my favorite live shows I've seen.
	6:37pm Terre T: This CRAMPS at City Gardens performance is amazing. . . "The SOUTH (Jersey) will rise again"!
	6:37pm Christina Ginger: Lux isn’t wrong about anything.
	6:37pm City Gardens OG: Hey Andres, Thanks for checking me out!

	♥ 6:38pm LesleyK: Cleveland royalty.. that Erick Purkhiser
	6:38pm Andres: Always jealous when people start sharing stories about Cramps shows. Live energy is amazing!!
	6:39pm Christina Ginger: I had the pleasure of a seeing them live and then having them come into my record store the next day. They were wonderful.
	6:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only thing in my limited experience to compare to LiveCramps was LiveIggy.
	6:40pm City Gardens OG: I saw The Cramps a few times at CGs. the last time they played, when the show ended, Lux stripped completely naked and walked straight thru the crowd to the dressing room. Crowd parted like the Red Sea!
	6:41pm Christina Ginger: Live Iggy is /was also an entertaining sight, RR.
	6:41pm City Gardens OG: Someone may have some Live Iggy from CG's if he gets to do another show....hint hint
	6:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I could say maybe G.G.Allin (especially after that nekkid acount) - but G'g only lasted 20 min.s til he'd destroyed every mike they had doing ...well you know.
	♥ 6:43pm TonyR: I once paid the Cramps' tab at a diner in Philly as I was working an all-nighter fixing computers across the street and they rode into town early. They came over to thank me (not my intent AT ALL). Ivy was no-makeup, and civilian clothes so she wasn't IVY. But OMG she was SOOOO sweet.
	6:44pm Terre T: ello to @Tiffany, Mike Sin, Andres! And special hi hi hi to @TJ - crazy full car rides down to da CITY GARDENS to see the DESCENDENTS and more ! @DAVE THE SPAZZ_ YESSS! Honored by your presence ! Yer a tru LEGIT RnR KANG!🤩
	6:45pm City Gardens OG: Replacements are next, if you listen closely, you can hear Bob Stinson suggest Hendrix to play
	♥ 6:47pm Chris Crash: Holy shit I'm looking at the flyers and I'm seeing that fucking LOUDNESS played there in May 1985?? 🤣 The japanese super-glam metal band??? THAT I gotta hear!!
	6:47pm City Gardens OG: @Chris Crash, I was hired for my first roadie gig for that Show!
	6:48pm Christina Ginger: Wow, the vocals on this are insane. So strong and clear.,
	♥ 6:48pm LesleyK: oh and i see Lords of the New Church listed on that flyer-- i remember when they played at the Phantasy Theater in Lakewood on that tour. My bro went but i was sadly too young to get in. :(
	6:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ok - I don't really 'dance' - but I'm allowed an exception...
	6:49pm City Gardens OG: Unfortunately, this is my in memorium set, RIP to Bob Stinson, Bo Diddley, and Lux.
	6:49pm City Gardens OG: @Lesley K, I have a Lords of the New Church story as well(that involves Martha Quinn from MTV)
	6:49pm Terre T: This whole set features performances by musicians no longer with us 😢
	♥ 6:49pm Chris Crash: In-fucking-credible
	6:52pm City Gardens OG: Drummer from Lush Chris Acland also died. He was the Lead singers Boyfriend and the band fell apart after that. I had a huge crush on Mika from this band

	6:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Basically homelesson CapeCod, MA 1st time I Left Home in NewHampshuh. We heard that in Cambridge (NorthBoston) - 'Tommy & the Placemats' were going to be @ the Men's InnSquare Bar. Everybody underground knew that was TheReplacements warming up for a bigger gig soon.

	♥ 6:24pm Chris Crash: If I ever meet The Dickies, I'm going right into talking to them about Gigantor and Giant Robo, even before introducing myself.
	♥ 6:24pm Mike Sin: Enjoying the show! Didn’t get down to City Gardens that much, but the four or so times I was there? A lot of folks getting bounced out of the club! Of all people, Lux Interior had to even ask from the stage when I was there, “Why is everyone so crazy?” :)
	6:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Gigantor
	6:24pm City Gardens OG: fun fact, Leonard would get that warble in his voice by flicking his finger against his windpipe. when it wasn't in his ear
	♥ 6:24pm Dave the Spazz: This is great!
	6:26pm City Gardens OG: If you look at this decendents photo, you can see a very young RKO bouncing in front of Milo

	6:29pm City Gardens OG: Zander Schloss played on this tour.
	6:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - Chris Cornell would kinda karate chop his throat to get them autotune sort of interval leaps ...must be a word for that...
	♥ 6:30pm TonyR: What shows, Mike Sin? The hardcore shows at the Starlight Ballroom in the early 80s in Philly were no picnic, between the out of town thugs from DC and the Kensington locals who wanted to beat up ANY punk rocker, without getting the nuances.
	♥ 6:31pm TonyR: Have a bootleg DVD of the Cramps at CG 1982-ish. Phenomenal.
	6:31pm Andres: Hey, RKO! Late but in time for Fishbone! Saw them first time ‘91. Still up there amongst fave shows ever!!
	6:32pm City Gardens OG: @Christina Ginger, its on in about 5 minutes, its some of Lux's finest work. and def not PC

	6:39pm Christina Ginger: I had the pleasure of a seeing them live and then having them come into my record store the next day. They were wonderful.
	6:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Only thing in my limited experience to compare to LiveCramps was LiveIggy.
	6:40pm City Gardens OG: I saw The Cramps a few times at CGs. the last time they played, when the show ended, Lux stripped completely naked and walked straight thru the crowd to the dressing room. Crowd parted like the Red Sea!
	6:41pm Christina Ginger: Live Iggy is /was also an entertaining sight, RR.
	6:41pm City Gardens OG: Someone may have some Live Iggy from CG's if he gets to do another show....hint hint
	6:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I could say maybe G.G.Allin (especially after that nekkid acount) - but G'g only lasted 20 min.s til he'd destroyed every mike they had doing ...well you know.
	♥ 6:43pm TonyR: I once paid the Cramps' tab at a diner in Philly as I was working an all-nighter fixing computers across the street and they rode into town early. They came over to thank me (not my intent AT ALL). Ivy was no-makeup, and civilian clothes so she wasn't IVY. But OMG she was SOOOO sweet.
