Workers,

Regarding the reggae concert that the Oils opened for. I mailed the guy who originally posted to the Kinks mailing-list and this is his response:

> Relax old boy.  I now remember some specifics.  Burning Spear was the
> headline reggae group at Red Rocks when Midnight Oil opened and was booed
> heavily, and it was probably about 1984 (I originally said "about" 1981).
> That was about 20 years ago and one's memory tends not to remember specifics
> from so long ago.  Why the Oil opened for B. Spear and other reggae groups
> while turning down a chance to tour with the Who I could not tell you.  You
> might have to take it up with the lads, but I guarantee you they were at Red
> Rocks that night.  That my memory recalls clearly.  By the way I remain a
> big fan having seen them at the House of Blues in Hollywood about 18 months
> ago and play their most recent CD regularly in my car.
