My first Blue show was during this time frame. 1995, I believe, at the Seabrook Beach Club. It was the same night as a Tyson fight if that helps with the date. I remember they had a section roped off for people who wanted to pay the $20 cover to see the fight that night.

Now that 2002 is not in this thread anymore, my comment above looks oddly out of place. I shal remove it forthwith.
