I was there — that is actually my photo I took at the show. I posted it on Flickr so someone must have found it there.

My Avatar is also the banner we (me and Brandon) made and he gave to Dave during Mean Street. You can hear the crowd reaction when he holds it up at the 45:12 mark on the boot.. 6/19/81 at the Sports arena
