I was a senior in high school working at a Country station in Richmond, VA, WTVR-FM doing automated weekend overnights, Midnight-8am.
I think it was Duran Duran at Hampton Coliseum in maybe 83, I'm sure my parents dragged me to others but I remember asking to go to this one.
Was an 8-Track – Cars "Panorama"
Phone interview with Mike D from Beastie Boys while in college at Virginia Commonwealth University, that was real a mess.
Working overnights at that first gig in Richmond, it was reel to reel automated with live assist, so I had plenty of time to run to 7-11 on the corner during sweeps until one of the reels stopped while I was out. Had dead air for about 15 minutes, it was 3am so no one ever noticed, but I swore I would get fired for that one.
