Saturday August 9, 1986: Im thirteen years old and on my way (with my mother driving) to Harrys Department Store in Barre/Montpelier, VT. The reason she is taking me, is so I can pick up a couple of audio cassettes by an extremely famous rock group that has piqued my curiosity. We arrive at the store twenty minutes later and I depart the car and head very quickly inside, making my way over to the Record Town (now known as FYE) section of the store. I scan the selections available by this group and settle on (what I would later realize to be) the first and fifth albums in their catalog. I leave the store with cassettes in hand, get back into the vehicle, and anxiously wait out the twenty minute car ride home. Once we arrive back at our residence, I race inside and grab my AIWA Cassette Player, pop in the first album, listen to the opening track of the first song and at that moment realize that I have found the soundtrack for the rest of my life. And here (in its live glory) is that first song that changed my life almost thirty years ago. youtu.be/LxGHYdUBHiM
