Show Notes:
Oingo Boingo was touring with Squeeze in late 1985.
Squeeze played a club called The World in Manhattan
on 1985-12-20 while Oingo Boingo played this show at the Ritz.
The next evening I saw Oingo Boingo open for Squeeze
at Brendan Byrne Arena (Meadowlands, NJ) and both bands
were at the top of their form. If anyone has a document of that
show (1985-12-21), it would certainly be a kick to hear.

Tech Note:
This tape shows some age in the 1st few minutes,
with some dropouts due to tape wear, but overall is a
good FM master of the band in its heyday.


The Band:

Danny Elfman - lead vocals, guitar
Steve Bartek - guitar
Mike Bacich - keyboards
John Avila - bass
Johnny "Vatos" Hernandez - drums
