	6:07pm City Gardens OG: Leah, like I said, that was the first time I dealt with a person with a gun. It's been a life I've led.

	6:08pm City Gardens OG: Mike from Brooklyn, If you look up City Gardens Punk Cards on the internet, you will be surprised at how many people played there
	6:08pm Terre T: People if u think that RAMONES story was nuts--keep listenin! UNEED to hear the Butthole Surfers at CITY GARDENS story at very end (And bear in mind these are the PG-13 family friendly stories!) Omg
	6:08pm David Shortell: Destroy All Bands opened for Bad Brains? I never heard about that! Maybe they canceled. They were my favorite local band back then. The singer Glenn Bruden died in 2019.
	👻 6:09pm Woo: Hey Will, Lesley. Gotta chop up some broccoli now with a City Gardens soundtrack
	6:09pm MOM WHIG: Andres, Mike from B
	👻 6:09pm Mike From Brooklyn: @City Gardens OG - for sure! So many iconic bands on that one flyer too. Hey MOM WHIG, RRN63!
	6:09pm Scott67: G'day MOM 😎🤙🌺
	6:09pm MOM WHIG: Hi woo
	6:10pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Love this! I saw the Ramones in Aug 88 a few weeks before leaving for college. It was a steamy hot Jersey night. My pal Allen was 6’6” & had an afro. During the show we took off our shirts due to the heat & then hopped in his mom’s Buick wagon for the drive home on Rt 1 north. Late that night, Allen arrived at the Lawrence traffic circle & proceeded to drive CLOCKWISE around it. We were soon pulled over by a Lawrence Twp police officer. He looked at us two shirtless, scared sweaty teens, shook his head with disapproval & told us “just get the hell outta here.”
	6:10pm City Gardens OG: It was the greatest job to have in the 80's and 90's, I got to see hundreds of bands and got paid to do it.
	6:10pm Andres: D.O.A.!!! Post- Canada Day CanCon :)
	6:10pm Chili MacPagoda: City Gardens sounds like a much better version of the club I grew up going to - Electric Banana in Pittsburgh.
	6:11pm David Shortell: I got my nose bashed in at that D.O.A. show. Much of the punk crowd didn't take kindly to the metallic-sounding Corrosion of Conformity.
	6:11pm MOM WHIG: Hi Chili
	6:11pm Chili MacPagoda: Hello Mom Whig!
	6:11pm LesleyK: hi Chili!
	6:11pm City Gardens OG: Jeff, it was a really good thing that the cops were so exhausted with all the other crime to deal with us.
	6:11pm Terre T: @Andres:"D.O.A.!!! Post- Canada Day CanCon :)" HA! right on - Happy belated CANADA Day!
	6:11pm Nancy Big: RED DEATHS FOR EVERYONE
	6:11pm LesleyK: and hi to Jeff from Rahway!
	6:12pm City Gardens OG: This Black Flag was when Kira was with the band in 86
	6:12pm MOM WHIG: Hi David Shortell
	6:12pm Chili MacPagoda: Hiya Lesley!!
	6:12pm LesleyK: i mean formerly from Rahway... ha --funny story!
	6:13pm Terre T: REMEMBER when Henry had the long flowing hair❣️ (HOTTIE😹)
	6:13pm LesleyK: hey Dave S and Nancy!
	6:13pm Scott67: So just gunna get Clicky Starring the whole bloody Show done right now! ⭐👈😎🤙
	6:13pm Chili MacPagoda: The Kira & Bill Stephenson Flag lineup is underrated. They rocked
	6:13pm City Gardens OG: Nancy Bigs, I know that drink all too well! Many a black out night on those shots
	6:14pm Scott67: Tezza, PG-13????? Can't we swear on R&S?
	6:14pm David Shortell: I think that Iggy show was from the "Brick By Brick" tour. I opted to see him at Rutgers' College Avenue gymnasium instead. Charles Burns' album illustration was used as the glow-in-the-dark backdrop.
	6:14pm Stu Rutherford: Hello Will & Mike from BK!
	6:14pm City Gardens OG: Nancy is City Gardens Royalty FYI, and a damn fine human as well!
	6:15pm MOM WHIG: Hi STU
	6:15pm Stu Rutherford: Hi Mom!
	6:15pm Nancy Big: Right back atcha doll
	6:15pm City Gardens OG: Scott67, google image for Butthole surfers City Gardens and you might get an eyeful you wont be able to unsee!
	6:16pm Leah: David- Yes, just confirmed by Glenn’s brother that DAB did indeed open for Bad Brains
	6:16pm LesleyK: Remember when Ministry was new wave? i kinda liked them back then. ha ha. though I know Al J hates that stuff.
	6:16pm Terre T: @Will the Sound Guy- alright happy to see u! @Revo Rabbit- hello! @LeselyK- alright Ms Rocksteady!! thx for stopping by (and helping with art layout!) @Chris Crash- NOOICElilbro
	6:17pm City Gardens OG: Lesley K, I remember when this album came out, there was a large contigent that showed up expecting Halloween or Work for Love and were severely disappointed!
	6:18pm Terre T: I love this early BRUTAL live MINISTRY ---right up there with Einsturzende Neubauten or DAF!
	6:18pm David Shortell: As I stood close to the stage, Rollins lunged forward and whipped sweat from his locks into my face. Yecch.
	6:18pm Van Winkle ;-): My ears are bleeding...in a good way...nice steaming & streaming set...RKO.
	6:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never heard the first thing about any of this : www.vulture.com...
	6:18pm Nancy Big: I was among the whiners about no Halloween
	6:19pm LesleyK: angry AL and his perfect new wave do in this vid.. ha ha. (REVENGE VIDEO) www.youtube.com...
	6:19pm Chris Crash: Fuck yeah, I love Ministry!!
	6:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I see GWAR ! :D
	👻 6:19pm Will the Sound Guy: Diggin the tunes.. thank you for archiving all these live shows
	6:20pm City Gardens OG: Rev Rabbit, it's funny because Jon thought it happened at the X show but it was def at a Ramones show.
	6:20pm Terre T: @Stu Rutherford - heya DJ brutha of da We're Outta Sight!! show - thx so much for stopping by Ye Olde Memory lane 🤦‍♀️😹
	6:21pm City Gardens OG: David, We used to always joke about Henry's short shorts he would wear on stage!
	6:21pm LesleyK: RKO-- just saw your comment about the fans who showed up thinking it would be like the older stuff-- that's funny
	6:21pm Stu Rutherford: Hey Terre!
	6:21pm City Gardens OG: Thanks Van Winkle!
	6:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oceans of skins...
	6:23pm City Gardens OG: Al J talks about this Faith No More story in the book No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes. It led to him meeting Trent Reznor for the first time when they had to get the Synth fixed
	6:23pm LesleyK: Some guy gave me a Bigger Thomas cassette tape the first year i lived in NYC.. i may still have it (from 1992)
	6:24pm Terre T: @Leah;"That was one heck of a story! I was worried for you! " Ha! thx for stopping by and yr concern!😘
	6:25pm City Gardens OG: Lesley,Bigger Thomas played so many times, I'm not sure when this performance was.
	6:25pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Faith No More played w/Voivod & Soundgarden in 1990. Chris Cornell hung upside down from the pipes on the ceiling during “Big Dumb Sex” & kicked out the acoustic tiles w/his boots, coating the crowd w/was probably asbestos dust.
	6:25pm Leah: Hi TT! 🙋🏻‍♀️
	6:26pm Chili MacPagoda: I have a Polaroid photo of Kurt and Chris from right around that time, from the show they played at the Sonic Temple in Pittsburgh. They stopped and gave a shocked whut 😮 face for the photo. Less than 100 people were at the show
	6:27pm Scott67: RKO, that google scroll looked like all pretty normal shenanigans at a live punk gig. 🍻😎🤙
	6:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I miss the Punk~AltRawk Club thing... I've had little enuff of it.
	6:28pm City Gardens OG: Ken Salerno has some great pics of Chris Cornell doing that on his photo site. Chuck played one more time at City gardens with Faith No More opening for The Red Hot Chili Peppers(to about a 100 people). He then later replaced HR in Bad Brains briefly
	6:28pm David Shortell: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was at the GWAR/Mudhoney/Fluid show which was a Halloween costume contest. The winner was dressed like Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman.
	6:29pm Chili MacPagoda: Rollins spoken word and Ween on the same bill for $7. Take me back!
	6:29pm LesleyK: RKO--were you at the Toots & the Maytals show? (it's on the flyer w the 2Tone guy, says Feb 25 (not sure what year that is)
	6:29pm Terre T: @MOM WHIG ❣️ hello ❣️ so happy to see u❣️ @Woo - Hiya whats up? Tha x for stopping by!
	6:29pm City Gardens OG: David, I talk about that Mudhoney show with the guy dressed like Grimace from McDonalds crowd surfing later!
	6:30pm Matt Clarke: Hey RKO and all! Just dropping in!
	6:30pm Nancy Big: Omg the Grimace
	6:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a treat all this ! So fun ...I'm probly safer getting it vicariously...
	6:31pm City Gardens OG: Lesley, I'm pretty sure I was at 95% of all the shows from 85-the end. A lot of reggae !
	6:31pm LesleyK: oh ok, that's awesome
	6:32pm Chili MacPagoda: That had to have been hilarious watching Mark E Smith wind up the crowd. The man knew how to provoke a reaction
	6:32pm LesleyK: hey Matt! nice seeing you last night!
	6:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loogit all that in like two months.
	6:33pm TJ: Rob, thanks again for hitting the vault. Great memories. Was definitely in attendance for Black Flag and DOA...unfortunately cannot tell you what happened to my "Let's Wreck The Party" headband
	6:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Less.
	6:33pm City Gardens OG: Chili, Ween just played Atlantic City, I think the toll bridge to go to the show is more than $7.
	6:33pm Andres: The Fall! High on the list of shows I wish I had attended.
	6:33pm Scott67: Fuckit! I've had coffee, now I'm grabbin a bloody Beer!! Cheers ya beautiful bastards!!! 🍻😎🤙💜
	👻 6:35pm Will the Sound Guy: 🍻
	6:35pm City Gardens OG: Thanks Scott67, I'm buying you a beer when I get back to OZ someday, Still wondering why I didn't just stay there last time I visited.
	6:35pm Chili MacPagoda: Cheers Scotty, crack one open for me 🍻🍻🍻
	6:35pm City Gardens OG: Thanks TJ!
	6:36pm Leah: This is such a fun show! RKO, you saw it all! And you just played 2 of my favorite bands back to back 😃
	6:36pm David Shortell: I believe I saw Bigger Thomas open for KRS-One there. Were they also the openers for Sham 69, who played few songs because Jimmy Pursey wasted so much time confronting the nazis?
	6:37pm TJ: Dag was another one for a few shows. My buddy Sal and I are visible up front against the stage at CG in the Wig Out cassette although this should be from the Field Day tour.
	6:37pm City Gardens OG: If you notice the red flyer next to Dag Nasty, Danzig played their first show at City Gardens, with Gwar as the opening act!
	6:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it were me Officer FlowerPrint : I held the gun to the Aussie's head & made him drink beer fer breakfast...
	6:38pm Chili MacPagoda: This is a STUNNING live set archive.
	6:38pm City Gardens OG: David, That KRS One show was chaos for about 20 minutes, I can also tell a good story about Naughty By Nature and Public Enemy and Ice T shows that involved Guns
	6:39pm Scott67: You're always welcome RKO! I know the perfect place for a beer & a Band; TRASH CULT. In my home town. trashcult.com.au
	6:39pm David Shortell: Butthole Surfers definitely didn't play with Dead Kennedys that night. I remember Bodies In Panic did though.
	6:39pm City Gardens OG: That Sham 69 show was a disaster because all the crowd wanted to here was the old stuff and they had moved on.
	6:40pm Nancy Big: Billy Tucker convinced me to see Gwar at CGs. ‘Your FACE will HURT from SMILING’ we’re his exact words
	6:40pm LesleyK: Cheers Scotty!! 😂🍻🥂
	6:40pm City Gardens OG: I think I still have a Bodies in panic Tshirt somewhere!
	6:40pm Scott67: Cheers Chili! Done & done mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	6:41pm City Gardens OG: Holding you to it Scott67!
	6:42pm Terre T: @David Shortell:"Destroy All Bands opened for Bad Brains? I never heard about that! Maybe they canceled. They were my favorite local band back then. The singer Glenn Bruden died in 2019." Ah man sorry to hear that! Thx for chiming with that
	6:42pm Mike Sin: Show sounds great! Listening through my phone. we’re actually boozing up at an outdoor bar after a day moseying around Turtle Back Zoo. Won’t be able to comment much but we’re digging it. Telling my wife aboutCity Gardens and that weird park/field behind it that would end up being a vomitorium the few times I was there.
	6:42pm Scott67: Bloody awesome RKO! 🍻😎🤙
	6:42pm City Gardens OG: This TSOL show is so old, it was before punkcards came out. This is from 1981!
	6:43pm LesleyK: AT bottom of Red flyer-- it says they are passing on booking the Fall?? (yet they booked the crappy red hot chili peppers)..what is UP with that??
	6:44pm City Gardens OG: Lesley K, they booked the Fall with The Volcano suns opening and only got 30 people for the show, Randy the booker figured they ran their course. I will tell you that I hated working for the Chili Peppers
	6:46pm Johnny tee bro: Was standing somewhere in close vicinity to you and Sal at that 😆Dag show T!!!
	6:46pm Nancy Big: Keidis was the biggest asshole I ever met at CGS. bar none
	6:46pm LesleyK: oh ok, RKO. oh yeah, sorry you had to work for RHCP--one of my least fave bands of all time
	6:46pm City Gardens OG: Chili MacPagoda, I did a previous show on City Gardens that has a whole bunch of other bands on it, It's in the archive on the Drop in
	6:47pm LesleyK: alright! CHRIS CRASH next week... woo hoo!!!!!
	6:48pm Androu B.: Hey Hey, Gang! Meant to get here on time to catch this show, since I have my own fond memories of this monumental venue from back in the day! OMG, how well I remember Bigger Thomas! I attended a few of their shows! They also played The Court Tavern often. G'Day, Scott67! 👊😎 🍻 How's tricks down in the Land of Oz?
	6:48pm Chili MacPagoda: I’m going back to listen to it, RKO, thanx! Can tell already that I would’ve been a regular at City Gardens.
	6:49pm David Shortell: Is there any audio of the Goo Goo Dolls playing there? I believe it was Gentleman Jim who booked them for the Warzone/Ramones show, but I was late and missed their set. I saw them at City Gardens later though. (Opening for Uniform Choice, I think?)
	6:49pm Chris Crash: You are a king among men, RKO. Thank you so much!!
	6:49pm City Gardens OG: Roger is at fourcitybrewing.com in Orange NJ. if you need a beverage!
	6:50pm Scott67: G'day Androu! air as cold as my beer mate. But it's sunny thismornin & the music it hot! Cheers! 🍻😎🤙
	6:50pm City Gardens OG: David, no audio I have for Goo Goo Dolls, but I do have an interesting story about that band which I can't really tell!
	6:51pm Nancy Big: Lovely to hear your voice, oh-bee. This was a lot of fun
	6:52pm Andres: Thanks, RKO!! This City Gardens well is deep. Looking forward again to the next!
	6:52pm City Gardens OG: Will have to reunion the next time you are in B-Town, Nancy! Enjoy that high Falutin NYC lol
	6:52pm City Gardens OG: Hold on to your hats kids, this story is gonna get weird
	6:53pm David Shortell: @Androu B.: If you haven't heard, Kevin Shields of Bigger Thomas and Detention passed away last fall.
	6:55pm Chili MacPagoda: I’m assuming that crazy shit still happens at shows but it had a different flavor of intensity back then. Went to see JFA at the Electric Banana and the skins in the crowd threatened violence if the band played keyboards. JFA definitely obliged with mucho keyboards, things went sideways and the club owner Johnny Banana pulled out a gun in the middle of the crowd. A memorable evening
	6:56pm Scott67: Thanks RKO!🔥 Fanfuckentastic Show, get your arse back here soon mate! 🍻😎🤙
	6:56pm Nancy Big: ❤️
	👻 6:56pm Will the Sound Guy: wild story
	6:56pm City Gardens OG: Thanks for listening everyone, I thought this was the perfect Irony to play this song after that story!
	6:56pm LesleyK: Thanks RKO and for the WILD stories!! great show!!
	6:57pm Scott67: There's pictures on google Will. 🍻😎🤙🔥
	👻 6:57pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you RKO City Cardens OG, killer show man!!!
	6:57pm Androu B.: @David Shortell Sorry to hear that. 😡 What did he play as a member of BT?
	6:57pm City Gardens OG: There is a great Photo on the Playlist of the Cymbal on fire!
	6:58pm MOM WHIG: Thanks for the Tunes

	6:07pm LesleyK: hey Woo!
	👻 6:07pm Mike From Brooklyn: Hi RKO/CityGardensOG! Is that City Gardens flyer for real? Hey Terre T, Will the Sound Guy, Chris Crash, Stu Rutherford, LesleyK!
	6:07pm City Gardens OG: Leah, like I said, that was the first time I dealt with a person with a gun. It's been a life I've led.
	6:07pm LesleyK: hi Mike from BK!
	6:07pm Andres: First and not last I’m assuming.
	6:08pm Scott67: G'day Tezza! Wouldn't miss it mate! Hope you're feeling better today! ☕😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	6:08pm City Gardens OG: Mike from Brooklyn, If you look up City Gardens Punk Cards on the internet, you will be surprised at how many people played there
	6:08pm Terre T: People if u think that RAMONES story was nuts--keep listenin! UNEED to hear the Butthole Surfers at CITY GARDENS story at very end (And bear in mind these are the PG-13 family friendly stories!) Omg
	6:08pm David Shortell: Destroy All Bands opened for Bad Brains? I never heard about that! Maybe they canceled. They were my favorite local band back then. The singer Glenn Bruden died in 2019.
	👻 6:09pm Woo: Hey Will, Lesley. Gotta chop up some broccoli now with a City Gardens soundtrack
	6:09pm MOM WHIG: Andres, Mike from B
	👻 6:09pm Mike From Brooklyn: @City Gardens OG - for sure! So many iconic bands on that one flyer too. Hey MOM WHIG, RRN63!
	6:09pm Scott67: G'day MOM 😎🤙🌺
	6:09pm MOM WHIG: Hi woo
	6:10pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Love this! I saw the Ramones in Aug 88 a few weeks before leaving for college. It was a steamy hot Jersey night. My pal Allen was 6’6” & had an afro. During the show we took off our shirts due to the heat & then hopped in his mom’s Buick wagon for the drive home on Rt 1 north. Late that night, Allen arrived at the Lawrence traffic circle & proceeded to drive CLOCKWISE around it. We were soon pulled over by a Lawrence Twp police officer. He looked at us two shirtless, scared sweaty teens, shook his head with disapproval & told us “just get the hell outta here.”
	6:10pm City Gardens OG: It was the greatest job to have in the 80's and 90's, I got to see hundreds of bands and got paid to do it.
	6:10pm Andres: D.O.A.!!! Post- Canada Day CanCon :)
	6:10pm Chili MacPagoda: City Gardens sounds like a much better version of the club I grew up going to - Electric Banana in Pittsburgh.
	6:11pm David Shortell: I got my nose bashed in at that D.O.A. show. Much of the punk crowd didn't take kindly to the metallic-sounding Corrosion of Conformity.
	6:11pm MOM WHIG: Hi Chili
	6:11pm Chili MacPagoda: Hello Mom Whig!
	6:11pm LesleyK: hi Chili!
	6:11pm City Gardens OG: Jeff, it was a really good thing that the cops were so exhausted with all the other crime to deal with us.
	6:11pm Terre T: @Andres:"D.O.A.!!! Post- Canada Day CanCon :)" HA! right on - Happy belated CANADA Day!
	6:11pm Nancy Big: RED DEATHS FOR EVERYONE
	6:11pm LesleyK: and hi to Jeff from Rahway!
	6:12pm City Gardens OG: This Black Flag was when Kira was with the band in 86
	6:12pm MOM WHIG: Hi David Shortell
	6:12pm Chili MacPagoda: Hiya Lesley!!
	6:12pm LesleyK: i mean formerly from Rahway... ha --funny story!
	6:13pm Terre T: REMEMBER when Henry had the long flowing hair❣️ (HOTTIE😹)
	6:13pm LesleyK: hey Dave S and Nancy!
	6:13pm Scott67: So just gunna get Clicky Starring the whole bloody Show done right now! ⭐👈😎🤙
	6:13pm Chili MacPagoda: The Kira & Bill Stephenson Flag lineup is underrated. They rocked
	6:13pm City Gardens OG: Nancy Bigs, I know that drink all too well! Many a black out night on those shots
	6:14pm Scott67: Tezza, PG-13????? Can't we swear on R&S?
	6:14pm David Shortell: I think that Iggy show was from the "Brick By Brick" tour. I opted to see him at Rutgers' College Avenue gymnasium instead. Charles Burns' album illustration was used as the glow-in-the-dark backdrop.
	6:14pm Stu Rutherford: Hello Will & Mike from BK!
	6:14pm City Gardens OG: Nancy is City Gardens Royalty FYI, and a damn fine human as well!
	6:15pm MOM WHIG: Hi STU
	6:15pm Stu Rutherford: Hi Mom!
	6:15pm Nancy Big: Right back atcha doll
	6:15pm City Gardens OG: Scott67, google image for Butthole surfers City Gardens and you might get an eyeful you wont be able to unsee!
	6:16pm Leah: David- Yes, just confirmed by Glenn’s brother that DAB did indeed open for Bad Brains
	6:16pm LesleyK: Remember when Ministry was new wave? i kinda liked them back then. ha ha. though I know Al J hates that stuff.
	6:16pm Terre T: @Will the Sound Guy- alright happy to see u! @Revo Rabbit- hello! @LeselyK- alright Ms Rocksteady!! thx for stopping by (and helping with art layout!) @Chris Crash- NOOICElilbro
	6:17pm City Gardens OG: Lesley K, I remember when this album came out, there was a large contigent that showed up expecting Halloween or Work for Love and were severely disappointed!
	6:18pm Terre T: I love this early BRUTAL live MINISTRY ---right up there with Einsturzende Neubauten or DAF!
	6:18pm David Shortell: As I stood close to the stage, Rollins lunged forward and whipped sweat from his locks into my face. Yecch.
	6:18pm Van Winkle ;-): My ears are bleeding...in a good way...nice steaming & streaming set...RKO.
	6:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never heard the first thing about any of this : www.vulture.com...
	6:18pm Nancy Big: I was among the whiners about no Halloween
	6:19pm LesleyK: angry AL and his perfect new wave do in this vid.. ha ha. (REVENGE VIDEO) www.youtube.com...
	6:19pm Chris Crash: Fuck yeah, I love Ministry!!
	6:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I see GWAR ! :D
	👻 6:19pm Will the Sound Guy: Diggin the tunes.. thank you for archiving all these live shows
	6:20pm City Gardens OG: Rev Rabbit, it's funny because Jon thought it happened at the X show but it was def at a Ramones show.
	6:20pm Terre T: @Stu Rutherford - heya DJ brutha of da We're Outta Sight!! show - thx so much for stopping by Ye Olde Memory lane 🤦‍♀️😹
	6:21pm City Gardens OG: David, We used to always joke about Henry's short shorts he would wear on stage!
	6:21pm LesleyK: RKO-- just saw your comment about the fans who showed up thinking it would be like the older stuff-- that's funny
	6:21pm Stu Rutherford: Hey Terre!
	6:21pm City Gardens OG: Thanks Van Winkle!
	6:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oceans of skins...
	6:23pm City Gardens OG: Al J talks about this Faith No More story in the book No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes. It led to him meeting Trent Reznor for the first time when they had to get the Synth fixed
	6:23pm LesleyK: Some guy gave me a Bigger Thomas cassette tape the first year i lived in NYC.. i may still have it (from 1992)
	6:24pm Terre T: @Leah;"That was one heck of a story! I was worried for you! " Ha! thx for stopping by and yr concern!😘
	6:25pm City Gardens OG: Lesley,Bigger Thomas played so many times, I'm not sure when this performance was.
	6:25pm Jeff formerly from Rahway: Faith No More played w/Voivod & Soundgarden in 1990. Chris Cornell hung upside down from the pipes on the ceiling during “Big Dumb Sex” & kicked out the acoustic tiles w/his boots, coating the crowd w/was probably asbestos dust.
	6:25pm Leah: Hi TT! 🙋🏻‍♀️
	6:26pm Chili MacPagoda: I have a Polaroid photo of Kurt and Chris from right around that time, from the show they played at the Sonic Temple in Pittsburgh. They stopped and gave a shocked whut 😮 face for the photo. Less than 100 people were at the show
	6:27pm Scott67: RKO, that google scroll looked like all pretty normal shenanigans at a live punk gig. 🍻😎🤙
	6:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I miss the Punk~AltRawk Club thing... I've had little enuff of it.
	6:28pm City Gardens OG: Ken Salerno has some great pics of Chris Cornell doing that on his photo site. Chuck played one more time at City gardens with Faith No More opening for The Red Hot Chili Peppers(to about a 100 people). He then later replaced HR in Bad Brains briefly
	6:28pm David Shortell: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was at the GWAR/Mudhoney/Fluid show which was a Halloween costume contest. The winner was dressed like Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman.
	6:29pm Chili MacPagoda: Rollins spoken word and Ween on the same bill for $7. Take me back!
	6:29pm LesleyK: RKO--were you at the Toots & the Maytals show? (it's on the flyer w the 2Tone guy, says Feb 25 (not sure what year that is)
	6:29pm Terre T: @MOM WHIG ❣️ hello ❣️ so happy to see u❣️ @Woo - Hiya whats up? Tha x for stopping by!
	6:29pm City Gardens OG: David, I talk about that Mudhoney show with the guy dressed like Grimace from McDonalds crowd surfing later!
	6:30pm Matt Clarke: Hey RKO and all! Just dropping in!
	6:30pm Nancy Big: Omg the Grimace
	6:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a treat all this ! So fun ...I'm probly safer getting it vicariously...
	6:31pm City Gardens OG: Lesley, I'm pretty sure I was at 95% of all the shows from 85-the end. A lot of reggae !
	6:31pm LesleyK: oh ok, that's awesome
	6:32pm Chili MacPagoda: That had to have been hilarious watching Mark E Smith wind up the crowd. The man knew how to provoke a reaction
	6:32pm LesleyK: hey Matt! nice seeing you last night!
	6:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Loogit all that in like two months.
	6:33pm TJ: Rob, thanks again for hitting the vault. Great memories. Was definitely in attendance for Black Flag and DOA...unfortunately cannot tell you what happened to my "Let's Wreck The Party" headband
	6:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Less.
	6:33pm City Gardens OG: Chili, Ween just played Atlantic City, I think the toll bridge to go to the show is more than $7.
	6:33pm Andres: The Fall! High on the list of shows I wish I had attended.
	6:33pm Scott67: Fuckit! I've had coffee, now I'm grabbin a bloody Beer!! Cheers ya beautiful bastards!!! 🍻😎🤙💜
	👻 6:35pm Will the Sound Guy: 🍻
	6:35pm City Gardens OG: Thanks Scott67, I'm buying you a beer when I get back to OZ someday, Still wondering why I didn't just stay there last time I visited.
	6:35pm Chili MacPagoda: Cheers Scotty, crack one open for me 🍻🍻🍻
	6:35pm City Gardens OG: Thanks TJ!
	6:36pm Leah: This is such a fun show! RKO, you saw it all! And you just played 2 of my favorite bands back to back 😃
	6:36pm David Shortell: I believe I saw Bigger Thomas open for KRS-One there. Were they also the openers for Sham 69, who played few songs because Jimmy Pursey wasted so much time confronting the nazis?
	6:37pm TJ: Dag was another one for a few shows. My buddy Sal and I are visible up front against the stage at CG in the Wig Out cassette although this should be from the Field Day tour.
	6:37pm City Gardens OG: If you notice the red flyer next to Dag Nasty, Danzig played their first show at City Gardens, with Gwar as the opening act!
	6:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it were me Officer FlowerPrint : I held the gun to the Aussie's head & made him drink beer fer breakfast...
	6:38pm Chili MacPagoda: This is a STUNNING live set archive.
	6:38pm City Gardens OG: David, That KRS One show was chaos for about 20 minutes, I can also tell a good story about Naughty By Nature and Public Enemy and Ice T shows that involved Guns
	6:39pm Scott67: You're always welcome RKO! I know the perfect place for a beer & a Band; TRASH CULT. In my home town. trashcult.com.au
	6:39pm David Shortell: Butthole Surfers definitely didn't play with Dead Kennedys that night. I remember Bodies In Panic did though.
	6:39pm City Gardens OG: That Sham 69 show was a disaster because all the crowd wanted to here was the old stuff and they had moved on.
	6:40pm Nancy Big: Billy Tucker convinced me to see Gwar at CGs. ‘Your FACE will HURT from SMILING’ we’re his exact words
	6:40pm LesleyK: Cheers Scotty!! 😂🍻🥂
	6:40pm City Gardens OG: I think I still have a Bodies in panic Tshirt somewhere!
	6:40pm Scott67: Cheers Chili! Done & done mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	6:41pm City Gardens OG: Holding you to it Scott67!
	6:42pm Terre T: @David Shortell:"Destroy All Bands opened for Bad Brains? I never heard about that! Maybe they canceled. They were my favorite local band back then. The singer Glenn Bruden died in 2019." Ah man sorry to hear that! Thx for chiming with that
	6:42pm Mike Sin: Show sounds great! Listening through my phone. we’re actually boozing up at an outdoor bar after a day moseying around Turtle Back Zoo. Won’t be able to comment much but we’re digging it. Telling my wife aboutCity Gardens and that weird park/field behind it that would end up being a vomitorium the few times I was there.
	6:42pm Scott67: Bloody awesome RKO! 🍻😎🤙
	6:42pm City Gardens OG: This TSOL show is so old, it was before punkcards came out. This is from 1981!
	6:43pm LesleyK: AT bottom of Red flyer-- it says they are passing on booking the Fall?? (yet they booked the crappy red hot chili peppers)..what is UP with that??
	6:44pm City Gardens OG: Lesley K, they booked the Fall with The Volcano suns opening and only got 30 people for the show, Randy the booker figured they ran their course. I will tell you that I hated working for the Chili Peppers
	6:46pm Johnny tee bro: Was standing somewhere in close vicinity to you and Sal at that 😆Dag show T!!!
	6:46pm Nancy Big: Keidis was the biggest asshole I ever met at CGS. bar none
	6:46pm LesleyK: oh ok, RKO. oh yeah, sorry you had to work for RHCP--one of my least fave bands of all time
	6:46pm City Gardens OG: Chili MacPagoda, I did a previous show on City Gardens that has a whole bunch of other bands on it, It's in the archive on the Drop in
	6:47pm LesleyK: alright! CHRIS CRASH next week... woo hoo!!!!!
	6:48pm Androu B.: Hey Hey, Gang! Meant to get here on time to catch this show, since I have my own fond memories of this monumental venue from back in the day! OMG, how well I remember Bigger Thomas! I attended a few of their shows! They also played The Court Tavern often. G'Day, Scott67! 👊😎 🍻 How's tricks down in the Land of Oz?
	6:48pm Chili MacPagoda: I’m going back to listen to it, RKO, thanx! Can tell already that I would’ve been a regular at City Gardens.
	6:49pm David Shortell: Is there any audio of the Goo Goo Dolls playing there? I believe it was Gentleman Jim who booked them for the Warzone/Ramones show, but I was late and missed their set. I saw them at City Gardens later though. (Opening for Uniform Choice, I think?)
	6:49pm Chris Crash: You are a king among men, RKO. Thank you so much!!
	6:49pm City Gardens OG: Roger is at fourcitybrewing.com in Orange NJ. if you need a beverage!
	6:50pm Scott67: G'day Androu! air as cold as my beer mate. But it's sunny thismornin & the music it hot! Cheers! 🍻😎🤙
	6:50pm City Gardens OG: David, no audio I have for Goo Goo Dolls, but I do have an interesting story about that band which I can't really tell!
	6:51pm Nancy Big: Lovely to hear your voice, oh-bee. This was a lot of fun
	6:52pm Andres: Thanks, RKO!! This City Gardens well is deep. Looking forward again to the next!
	6:52pm City Gardens OG: Will have to reunion the next time you are in B-Town, Nancy! Enjoy that high Falutin NYC lol
	6:52pm City Gardens OG: Hold on to your hats kids, this story is gonna get weird
	6:53pm David Shortell: @Androu B.: If you haven't heard, Kevin Shields of Bigger Thomas and Detention passed away last fall.
	6:55pm Chili MacPagoda: I’m assuming that crazy shit still happens at shows but it had a different flavor of intensity back then. Went to see JFA at the Electric Banana and the skins in the crowd threatened violence if the band played keyboards. JFA definitely obliged with mucho keyboards, things went sideways and the club owner Johnny Banana pulled out a gun in the middle of the crowd. A memorable evening
	6:56pm Scott67: Thanks RKO!🔥 Fanfuckentastic Show, get your arse back here soon mate! 🍻😎🤙
	6:56pm Nancy Big: ❤️
	👻 6:56pm Will the Sound Guy: wild story
