After hearing about it for close to twenty years, I finally saw Heavy Metal Parking Lot over the weekend. It's a low-budget documentary of the parking-lot party activities before a 1986 Judas Priest concert at the Capital Centre in Largo, Maryland. What a scene. The Cap Centre was my local arena, and I went to a whole bunch of rock'n'roll shows there when I was in ninth and tenth grade (1979-81). While I never took part in any parking-lot debauchery (I was either too young, too scared, or too sensible), I sure did rock out. Seeing the now-demolished* Cap Centre made me try to remember all the shows I saw there, and for posterity I've put together a Seeqpod playlist that contains most of the bands I saw there. I've tried to select songs that represent the albums they were promoting at the time, but it wasn't always possible: there just aren't any tracks from Foghat's Tight Shoes, Blackfoot's Tomcattin', or Yes's Drama on seeqable sites. Some of the opening bands I couldn't find at all (Marseilles, FM) and some I've forgotten altogether. If I could find again my wooden box with all my ticket stubs in it that would help a lot, but I'm afraid it's lost forever. But now I will always have this playlist to remind me, because the Internet is forever, right?
