I am usually not good about posting stuff on the anniversary of a performance, but I did this one for a couple reasons:
First, Jim Edwards recently reached out to me and let me know that he taped some shows around Sacramento back in the 1980s. I have 2 tapes with 3 bands so far, with(hopefully) more to come. Thanks Jim! This is one of those 3 sets.

The second reason is a bit more personal. Today is my Mom’s birthday, and she would have been 73 if she was still alive. She passed in 2006 (at 55, younger than I am now) due to cancer. She was not married in ’06 and I am her only child, so it was me and my aunt (and another friend) taking care of her for the last year… so I got a front row seat into the whole diagnosis/treatment/hope/decline spiral. Don’t smoke, kids.
Aerosmith was her favorite band- she would crush on Steven Tyler and she would see them whenever they were in Sacramento. In fact, I bet she was at this show.
This is the first hour of the show. Jim thinks he has part 2, so I will share that once it is found.
