Notes
  • Sue: capacity 2,087, $13 ticket includes parking. Gross potential of $25,044, 10% tax, so GP after taxes of $22,767.27. Band guarantee $7,500 plus $4,500 production plus 85% of gross receipts over $22,287 plus 100% difference between estimated non-variable expenses of $18,944.18 and actual expenses.
  • Dibgy, quoted by JGBP: "Tiny venue, theater in the round, there was no separation between stage proper and aisle. As a young lad I danced almost right onto the stage, but the bouncer gently 'caught' me with one arm and whirled me back towards the crowd ... Jerry got a chuckle out of that one."
  • review: [negative] Ercolano 1981: "all night long, the ensemble distinguished itself with its remarkably mediocre playing. ... His vocals ... were passionless, and his arrangements were as crisp as soggy matzoh."
  • review: [positive] Sireci 1981. Misidentifies some band members as Johnny d'Fonseca on bass, Merle [sic] Saunder's [sic] and Marty Sales on keyboards.
