I saw them when they opened for Cheap Trick (July 21, 1979 - Met Center, Bloomington, Minnesota) and they literally got chased off the stage. I swear, people were throwing beer cups at them until they left the stage. I almost felt bad for them, but they really weren't that good at the time. I think it was their style of music. The world wasn't ready for them in 1979. That changed a few years later.
Mark, I saw them for the first time at the Agora Ballroom in Tampa in '81 I believe. They did OK.
I also saw them again in Seaside Heights, NJ in the mid 80's. They were filming a Budweiser beer commercial with the cameras panning into the crowd. (I wonder if I ever was in it).

All in all they were good straight forward rock band who had some good MTV exposure and videos.
