I remember getting on the bus one summer afternoon to get to Detroit's Hart Plaza. 101-FM WRIF Detroit's RIFF were holding free concerts at Hart Plaza all summer long. It became an annual thing in the following years. A lot of the shows were local bands, some were nationals with a local band opening. I attended quite a few of them but this day was kind of special. It was a free show with Detroit's own Marshall Crenshaw. Marshall Crenshaw had been popular in the Detroit New Wave Clubs, especially with the Neo-Rockabilly set. I hadn't been able to talk any of my friends into seeing him until the Hart Plaza gig. The man and the band kicked some major ass!! Plain and simple!! It was really cool to see this guy break out of Detroit and end up playing Buddy Holly in La Bamba.

This show was originally broadcast on WLIR-FM but the BBC picked it up for it's syndicated radio show the BBC College Concert. That as they say is how we get here....This is an awesome recording and an awesome show A Must Have!!!
