1982 time capsule! What are you submitting?

Mine is my concert ticket stub from the Who's "farewell" tour - Shea Stadium, October 13. I would photograph it an post it, but I'm too lazy to go into my basement to find it.

2. That was their first farewell tour, wasn't it?

I could pop in a Genesis: ABACAB concert stub, except I don't have it.

Othwerwise, like most everything from 1971-1987 or so, it should ALL be put in a time capsule, and forgotten, and never seen again.

7. I was front row center for that concert

My girlfriend somehow got on stage and made out with the lead singer for Def Leppard before the security guards chucked her clear into the 5th row.

13. Did Def Leppard

do one too many encores, so the roadies came on stage and started taking down Def Leppard's set while they were playing?

So I'd give you a few neeners back, but I'm just feeling too old and tired these days...the old lumbago acting up....

37. You like that one? It was my Christmas card for 1982, and

Edited on Wed Sep-14-05 09:52 PM by Redstone

the caption was "Season's Greetings from the Connecticut Shoreline" (the ocean was right behind the car, and frozen).

The dog's name was Whirl. She was a good dog. An irredeemable lunatic, but a good dog.

70. Cute Cabrio, basket handle and dog - you had the look down nicely!

Heh, I also recall when that car was released, the GTI was super hot in some circles. You have a good eye for autos, Red.. and I've noticed a marked preference for convertibles in your garage.

28. I saw that Who tour as well -- and THE CLASH opened!

That was at the Oakland Coliseum.

I'll throw in a B-52s stub into the mix.

I was 16 in '82. Got my braces off and my driver's license (after two failed attempts -- how embarrassing!).
