I attended this with Jeff Daut. We drove from Cape May to Philly in his Jeep Wrangler. It was a soft top and all our cassettes, a jeans jacket, and our leftover beer were stolen while we were inside. 
This was a rough day for us in the heat. Apparently A Flock of Seagulls were booed off the stage. My memory of that part of the day isn’t particularly great. I do recall in the middle of the field a couple were being amorous. That is confidence! Doing in front of 100,000 people got a huge cheer.
Genesis was awesome! Los Endos was a highlight for me that evening, although medley was a treat too. Who knew it would be the only time I saw The Lamb Lies Down?
