Meriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland?

Brenda Siegelman
first show I went to was at Phila. Walnut St. Theatre , Sept . 1979. Philadelphia, then I went on to the Meriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland, Oct. 1979. Then on to Texas (Dallas , Austin & Lubbock) Oct 79, to California (LA & SF), then Portland, Seattle, Vancouver (Oct 79) and the Pacific NW. The whole Take the 5th tour.

I joined the 16 tons tour in Hastings Jan. 1980, and that was about a year , UK , US & Europe .. Bonds in 1981 , then the studio months. I left them in May 1982 - but went to Asbury Park NJ, summer 82 Philly ice rink & the NYC Pier. I went to one Clash II show.
