I was rooting around in one of my storage spaces last weekend and found an old concert flyer from the 1980’s.

The performers being showcased read like a Best of the 80’s CD compilation. Click here to peruse who’s live performance you missed in August/September of 1984. Included are:

• Bonnie Hayes and the Wild Combo
• The Cars
• Elvis Costello
• Echo and the Bunnymen
• Eurythmics
• The Go-Go’s
• Herbie Hancock
• Billy Idol
• Howard Jones
• Greg Kihn Band
• Nick Lowe
• Eddie Money
• Randy Newman
• The Pretenders
• The Psychedelic Furs
• Steel Pulse
• Ratt
• Linda Ronstadt
• Simple Minds
• James Taylor
• Wang Chung
• Yes

There is no year stated on the sheet, I had to do a little internet homework to finally pin this down to 1984. I actually attended the Billy Idol concert at Cal Expo, which is probably where I got the flyer.

Also please note the ticket prices, average of $13.50-$15.50 per show, the highest being $25 for reserved seating at Ronstadt (with Nelson Riddle’s full orchestra).

I also scanned the flip side of the flyer, but cut it into two sections here and here.
