On this day in 1982, first time seeing Billy Idol. Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom. A bit late for my liking as I would have much preferred seeing him a few years earlier with Generation X. #MusicSky

14 years ago today I saw The Cure for the 2nd night in a row at the Pantages Theatre in LA. The “Reflections” concerts included the first 3 Cure albums in their entirety each night, followed by a 14 song encore. Incredible nights of music. #MusicSky
