It wouldn't have been the Tough Guys show. Thanks for checking out the blog. Please feel free to offer your suggestions. Tag Hi Joel–

I’ll have to double-check, but I think my first show in Madison was Jefferson Starship featuring Jack Casady, Paul Kantner and Papa John Creach at the Barrymore in the spring on 1993.. It wouldn’t have been the Tough Guys show.

Curious to know what the first show you promoted was? I seem to remember a very early show at the Barrymore with about 5 bands that ended with Phil Gnarly and the Tough Guys playing a very short drunk set. Joel Tag-

You and your friend made an assumption that you would get into the second show for free, though at no point did we advertise it as such. They were separate events, contracted, billed and advertised as two different shows. The High Noon, like many venues in town, and across the country, often do two shows in one night. We have thought about offering a discount of sorts in these circumstances, and perhaps we will in the future. To make up for my poor manners, please accept my apology and the offer of a pair of tickets of equal value to last night's show. Sincerely, Tag Scott–
