Looking for a specific concert, circa 1984, did The Bangles or another all-female band play about then? Thx in advance. GO DUKE!!
The Go-Go's also played a couple of years earlier
I thought it was one of the two, and now it appears as both.
Not seeing Dave Matthews Band in Cameron on April 7, 1995. Toward the conclusion of my second year of law school (just after "The Back Surgery Season" had mercifully come to a conclusion). The song that eventually became #41 (then entitled "41 Police") debuted that night.
Damned first marriages . . . . .
"Amazing what a minute can do."
I was there for those as well. A trip down my faded memory lane.
Slightly off topic - but one of the most awesome concerts I have ever attended was Simon and Garfunkel in the Indoor Stadium (not yet Cameron). It must have been 1967 or 1968 (the years blend together now). They sat on tall bar stools at mid court and sang with only a bassist to accompany them.
The close harmony of their records was completely there live. They just blew my mind.

Good times.
As long as we're off topic, I had to jump in and say that Simon and Garfunkel's concert roughly fifty years ago (I'm fuzzy on the date too ) also is one of the most memorable concerts I ever attended.
What stands out to me to this day is when Simon said he wanted everyone to appreciate what a great voice Garfunkel had - and then Garfunkel did the next number a cappella.
You're correct in remembering the minimal accompaniment which was impressive enough, but that a cappella number was just amazing.
Thanks for reminding me

Marcus my words, if I didn't catch this, another spelling police master would have busted your posting hand. Still friends?

I remember several friends/classmates going to this concert (I was in high school at the time).
In searching for when the very exciting Blues Traveler/Spin Doctors mega concert was in the early 90s, I came across this old thread on the same concert topic:

Will you let an old geezer play? From an earlier era Louis Armstrong in Cameron, Kingston Trio and Jose Greco in Paige were new experiences for this freshman from small town NC.
