TomInBoston:

My first show - wish I could do it over again.

Opener was a multi-member group who played one or more songs based on recorded whale sounds.

My tape recording of the show was seized by an over-zealous college-kid "security" guard. Paraphrasing him: "Tape recorders aren't allowed. It says so on the ticket." Me: "No, it doesn't say that on the ticket..." Him: "Well, come on, you should know that they aren't allowed." I should have been more discreet with the recorder. If I had held onto the tape, I could have provided a setlist for this show!
