Veneta 35th Anniversary

The 35th Anniversary of what a lot of people think of as the greatest GOGD show of all time is coming soon.

What can we do to mark this milestone

Bad scene

I was at that Meadowlands show where that Katz kid got killed. That security was way out of hand that whole run.

say more about this ugly scene...

a subject on which I'm starting to think we may need a topic. It's certainly the case that not every show's scene was especially blissful. One minor example, from the History of later this month--it was really a shock to come from the Veneta 82 show, which was a marvel of good vibes and general delight, to the next night's show in Seattle, where hordes of mounted police (poor horses...) were on hand to intimidate the fans into docility, and one was not allowed to bring so much as one's purse into the venue. I vaguely recall the music being okay, but the vibe was not the best.
