Thank you for the photos and the memories. I too was at that Kean show, and in a moment that I'll never forget, I shook Bruce's hand as he walked off the stage. Little did we know where it was all heading -- for him *or* us. Wow! Thank you for the photos and the memories.

I used to buy balcony seats at the palladium to save money and then sneak down these scary backstairs that lead to an alley to get to the orchestra section/backstage. That night, I watched most of the clash show from the balcony and then made my way down to my usual way of sneaking to the stage. This time however security was tight and I could'nt get into the orchestra section AND the doors back to the balcony locked behind me. I stood in the alley and a guy from a PM magazine show was getting ready to interview the clash when they finished. He saw me standing alone and asked me some questions about the clash - when he started leaving to setup, he asked me if I wanted to go backstage. I said sure and there I was, backstage watching the clash doing their encore from a few feet away! I was freaking out, but had enough sense to grab a heineken from a tub of ice and try to act cool. Show finishes, guys walk past me and everyone is just hanging out - me a scrawny fly on the wall. I remember this tough looking punk kid walking around like he owned the place - maybe 11 or 12 years old. Later found out he was Harley from Stimulators/Cro Mags fame. 12 years old hanging out with the clash. I was a much older 17. I had to use the bathroom at one point and knocked on the door -- no answer -- Joe Strummer walks by and says "Mick is taking a sh&*%t - he was holding it in the whole show" and he starts laughing. Everyone then started downstairs to the basement - a who's who of ny cool. I was sitting next to Jerry Harrison of THeads - Lee Dorsey was holding court in the middle of the room. Anyway, a wild memory for a kid from brooklyn. I am still crushed that we lost Joe. Thanks for jogging the memory bank and GREAT pictures! cool haha, I was at this show and snuck backstage.

Getting on a bike & just taking off someplace is my pet love. Away from the hustle & bustle, riding off-track, going where so few venture, can't beat it. The exercise is great too. A total body workout. Good for the heart, increases stamina, & lets you relax too. Keep it up! Glad to hear you’re feeling full of beans!

So good to hear from you! I love the Fast Lane stage for taking photos. It was just a few feet off the ground, so an artist was right there in front of you. And yes, the compactness of the stage meant you could also get the drummer in shots. ;) I loved loved loved Mink Deville I photographed him in several shows with both his first band and the later version too. The Fast Lane was one of the best places to see a show in Asbury because of the stage. It made everything so intimate. @Gary: Wow! So good to hear from you!

I kept records of every single gig we did back then. I do remember this gig. The drummer for Mink Deville was Tommy Price and he had a hot pink kit. I also remember how little room there was on stage for us to set up in as seen in one of your pics. Fast Lane gigs were always special to me because that was the first rock club I ever went to and I still have this vivid memory of Beaver Brown taking the stage with lights on behind them and it's a movie moment....The Fast Lane was a magic place for me.

Pizza is the work of the devil! And i think he owns my local pizza joint! As long as he's not making tofu pizza ... it's all good. @Janet ... I know there were no promises about meds. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part from past history. @Silvia … Pizza is the work of the devil! And i think he owns my local pizza joint! As long as he’s not making tofu pizza … it’s all good.
