From Wikipedia: At the band's first major performance outside of New York, a June date in Youngstown, Ohio, approximately ten people showed up.
The first show I saw them at was on October 4 1981. I stood up front near the stage...which led to me not hearing well out of my right ear for 4-days!

The next show was on July 21, 1986 and was at the Phantasy night club in Cleveland. I bought a tour shirt (long gone!) and an autographed B&W promo photo. This was the ANIMAL BOY tour.

The last I attended was at Kent State University. This was November 15, 1986. The thing I remember most about the show was seeing Stiv Bators in the parking lot & heading into the building.

what they sounded like in 1981....this performance is 22 days after I saw them:
Awesome! My dad was the lead singer for The Attitude, the opening act for the Cleveland show. They were such an awesome local group who could really rock! I have been looking everywhere for someone who may have footage or recordings from this concert.
