  1. I believe that my band "The Dead Milkmen" opened for the Mats at this show. I have been searching for a photo that was taken in the Mats dressing room - was hoping someone might have access to a copy. I was coming down the stairs about 5 minutes before we went on and Paul met me in the stairwell asking if I knew where Slim was. I did not. Paul asked if I would pretend to be Slim because someone was in their dressing room and needed a press photo. I went with Paul and stood behind them. They were all sitting/gathered around a big wing back chair. I was dressed in ridiculous "HeeHaw Overalls" and my long hair in pigtails. I would love to get a copy of this photo.

    P.S. Turns out that Slim was downstairs side-stage talking guitars to our guitar player Joe Jack Talcum.
