Never saw the B-52's but attended the infamous U2 Concert on The Chelsea Pier one night. The Music was so loud residents living across the Hudson River in Weehawken New Jersey were complaining like mad.

I saw U2 in Philadelphia and what I remember is the poor planning they had. The Philadelphia Phillies also had a concert in the same complex area. If you are not aware of that area they have I believe 3 sports complexes. Well it was a madhouse. There was hardly any parking and no one was checking tickets getting in. We had field tickets so that was nice and Bruce Springsteen came out and sang with them.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World still gives me chills.

I didn't know Blue Öyster Cult was new wave. (Don't Fear) The Reaper is the definitive night driving song for me.

Actually when I purchased their cassette tape at a music store in New Paltz it was in the Heavy Metal isle. I included them because they existed in the New Wave era. Same with 38 Special who made a surprise appearance at a C&W club in Dover Plains after their infamous "Special Forces" release. I miss living in Dutchess County. That whole Mid Hudson Valley area was party central in the 80's.

I see.

I used to think I was into New Wave but I only listened religiously to maybe three out of all the bands posted here. Maybe if you post more, that will jog my memory.

More to come. Basically I started this thread as a tribute MTV which was all me and my crew watched like 99% of high schoolers on Long Island watched faithfully. This was in Junior high school when we didn't have cars yet which meant we couldn't go to concerts.
