Love that Smokey's is in the pic.
For me, the early 80s was all about school in NYC. Studio 54, Palladium, Xenon, The Roxy, CBGB, Bottom Line, Max's Kansas City, Can Estelle's, King Tut Yaya's, The Jag (Amagansett/East Hampton). I met and partied with really cool people in the entertainment business, and saw a lot of concerts at small venues. (Pretenders, Talking Heads, Ramones, Smiths, Red Hot Chili Peppers, GoGo's, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop)

Not there, Haven't heard of The Jag, maybe Jaguar? I mostly played Sparks (both locations) , February's, Sundance, Weatherbys, a couple others I can't remember. .. Zephyrus did a gig at The Ritz when that was at the Studio 54 location. I joined the band a couple months after that gig. I was active there Playing rock originals with Zephryus and covers with The Hat Club southern rock and blues, Steely Dan, Robert Cray, Allman Brothers, etc.. from late 1986 through 1989.

The Jag was in East Hampton. A buddy of mine bartended there. I remember Sparks and February's from my old Hofstra days.

Ya, mostly Nassau county gigs.. Sparks in Huntington and Deer Park. Nothing east of there except one at Sundance IIRC..
I worked at MicaWorld making custom furniture at that time.. Boss was cool with the music stuff and flexible scheduling..
EDIT to add that the owner of MicaWorld took the whole crew to Huntahhhh every season I worked there.Last edited by SumJongGuy; 05-15-2022 at 06:49 PM.

While I never got the opportunity to go, I have a feeling that Action Park in NJ is a core 80s memory for many. Totally crazy (and awesome). Anybody care to chime in about it?

Great album all around.
Probably some of the first to blend rap and rock.
