They got a lot of punk and new wave shows around the same time. The Sex Pistols played here on their only U.S. tour, Elvis Costello, R.E.M., the Police (think the latter two played at the Bayou)


REM played The Bayou. The Police played at The Kingfish.

Yes these shows/venues were in the that same time frame, mid to late 70's. I saw many great shows at the Kingfish, but as a "Rocker", I had no interest in Punk Rock. At the time we thought it sucked balls. Looking back, I can appreciate it's significance.

Back to the original topic, that Pink Floyd ticket cost a whopping $8.50.
