One tour operator from Canada, flew into LaGuardia with $10k in U.S.D.
He went home with 200 tix and sold bus tours to the concert.



I saw them all. Zep., Who's last concert with Keith, E.L.O., Stones, Rod Stewart, Elton, Billy The Knack, Dire Straits --- Springsteen and on and on.


The Wall --- all during the first set, there were stage hands assembling a wall, brick by brick. It was completed by the end of the first set. Then intermission.

Second set opens with a hole in the completed wall and Roger sitting on a lounge chair, watching static on a tv (13 channels of shit).

Of course, they broke the wall at the end of the set.

I still have my tour shirt from the concert. It is the only shirt I kept. Of course, I don't wear it.
It shows the cartoon teacher lurching over little Pink. This scene was followed in the show by "Another Brick.."
