I want to give them a hug to be honest

I attended this concert. The date was October 7, 1983. The venue was The Old Pension Building (aka The National Building Museum). I took my mother to the show. It was her first "pop" concert. She had a ball.

Was this the show with Diamanda Galas and they performed "The Mole Show"

[@GSM8591]

@@JXDirectorReels I have no memory of Diamanda performing, and THAT I would have remembered. Also, I would have taken pictures of her and did not.

[@JXDirectorReels]

@@GSM8591 I think it was when the new music festival was in DC. Saw her at the same building as the Mole Show, it was wonderful. The sonics and reverb in the building was great, added another dimension to the shows.

Behind those eyeball masks there was a sense of dread among the band members. They were bankrupt, the Cryptic Corporation was about to go under, all the stage pieces and equipment for the show was still in Europe, and they couldn't even finish their dress rehearsal with rented and borrowed gear. If it weren't for an insulting stroke of luck two hours before showtime, the Uncle Sam Mole Show would have been an utter disaster.

What happened two hours before showtime? Was the equipment/ set of the show different?

[@gean2315]

@@tomtomate5592 a lot of things used in this show was different, the entire show was recorded but the footage is still private

[@Anophis]
