Is that the day that you’re going bar hopping & renting the bus?

Two pitchers I had for years was Granddaddy's and The Filmore which became Mississippi Queen. All three places brought in now famous bands. Those were the days!

I was there that night at the Fillmore to see Jonesin, a band from Omaha, as was most of the croud. U2 was just a curiosity, a band we were told might be the next Beetles.

Edit: BTW, the performance at the Fillmore was part of U2's "Boy" Tour, their first tour including a North America leg. Here was the schedule. If you page down 3/4 of the way, you will see Ames listed as 10 April 1981:

For us it was Pizza House. I found some old check registers. It was around 2 and half dollars for a medium pizza delivered. Late 70s/early 80s.

My group usually rolled with Pizza Pit they always had coupons in the Daily. I remember getting a big pepperoni pizza for 5 bucks. Fancy pizza was Great Plains.

I was told he had to do his weigh-ins at Vet Med because that was the only place in town with scales that could weigh him.

Why did they have to weigh him in?

make sure he was heavy enough I assume. I know in HS you can only bump up one weight, not sure about college.

Concert Archives has it as well, but they list the Fillmore as being in Des Moines. But they do have the set list for the night. (click on the paper icon next to 'U2'.)
