Found a little documentation in the March 1st, 1978 New Time about the DILS no-show at Valley Art. Dewey Webb's tiny column at the very end of the paper, right before the classified section. Sending you a scan. The ad for Dooley's that week shows Lou Reed/Ian Dury coming on March 30th.

I no longer participate in the webtender forum you recently posted a question about honey. I am assuming you are talking about the bar rescue show. Michael tips is an actor, not a bartender (the so-called expert mixologist). See for yourself on fb, you'll have no mutual friends. I wouldn't do anything that guys says, anyway, to answer your question in a far less analytical way than apetail did on the forum, just add water to dilute the honey, making it easy to pour. That simple. Avoid that forum man, it's full of haters and slanderous wanna be's. There is a reason all the big dogs avoid it, it's just full of people who want to be recognized but have no skills. No website, no books, etc.. most of them don't even bartend. Apetail is smart and cool, but he's a chemist not a bartender, drink for thought man.

A little more information on Hate House. I remember going there for the first time in late 1978, a weekend or two after Devo played Dooley's (they had shreds of Devo's paper suits as a trophy on the mantle). Pretty sure Lucy was there and few other notables. They weren't hosting bands yet, it was more just Rick's party house at that point.

Just came across this via a link on Derrick Bostrom's site ... Down memory lane, man. I was in Phoenix from 8/81-5/84 &, while visiting on Xmas break before that, was lucky enough to have been at that great 12/31/80 show at the Barn. That marked the 3rd time I'd seen the Nervous that week (they'd played the Solid Gold with the Names a couple of times the previous week). My god, I loved that band ... by the time we moved out there some 8 months later, of course, they'd broken up. *sigh* Good times.

Did you see, on the SNL episode where the Foos were the musical guest, Dave's brief acting bit as the relief, decade-challenged, strip club DJ at Bonzo's Clown Shop? Good stuff!

Great job pulling this info together! The Elvis Costello & The Attractions Phoenix Symphony Hall gig had two supporting acts, Nick Lowe and Mink DeVille.

I don't believe there was an opening act for the Devo gig at Dooley's. The show began with their films "The Truth About De-evolution" and "Come Back Jonee".

Jim, I wish my cell phone camera had better resolution because the price tag below the item clearly listed the movie title. I don't think it was in a "Family" section, rather just new releases. and "Human" is inbetween "Hotel" and "I love". Not that anything in Walmart is actually in alphabetical order. Here is the item on the walmart website http://www.walmart.com/ip/14862727

Sure this wasn't a plant? If so, effing horrible on the store owners part and they should seriously reconsider the hire that made this type of mistake.
