St. Louis Arena

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

this spring run of shows is superb for several first set standards -- peggy o, loser, candyman, and every IAON has great energy -- check them all out!

Veterans Memorial Auditorium

Monster Candyman. A highlight from a show full of exceptional performances. 07-18-76 . . . one of the band's finest moments.
