 NR> If you're a fan of 80's music, this is a real treat. It's a bit like
 NR> Lost 80's Live that I've posted about previously but with less bands.
 NR> This gives each act more time to perform more songs. It lasted fro 6:30

This would have been great to see. Last year I saw, well, I got a glimpse of, The Violent Femmes. That's the best I could say of the 80's bands that I've seen recently. Saw The Cure in Houston in '19 and Elvis Costello earlier in the summer. Saw Post Modern Jukebox this last weekend in Austin. These are the last four concerts I've been too. I don't go often. :)
