00:19 – you can barely hear him say it, but the concert Chuck is talking about is Sammy Hagar at Cobo Hall. He seems to have a Sammy Hagar fixation this show.
00:22 – I never said, but for the record, my first concert was the Detroit Pops playing music from science fiction movies at Meadowbrook; and my first rock concert was Loverboy at Pine Knob in 1981
01:17 – listen to the 1987 show we’ll be talking about
02:23 – I still have my ticket stub, but what we’re reading off is the LADI34T 1987 setlist page

14:26 – Stub Hub’s Top 20 Rockin’ Cities
17:03 – Cleveland was not in the top 20
17:20 – I know: bugs have six legs, arachnids have eight. It was an attempt at a joke.
24:46 – the inevitable link to our waterlogged Episode 17
