Anyone attend or remember the August (September??) (20 or 22) "Heatwave"

to remember the lineup. What I recall so far (in order of appearance as
I best recall)...
Teenage Head
Holly & The Italians
B-52's
Talking Heads (expanded lineup with Adrian Belew)
Elvis Costello
The Kings
Plese let me know ... I'm sure other bands are missing in this list.
Thanks!

Wow! Just reminiscing today with some young hipsters on the other side of the world loving talking heads. 35 years next week - haven't thought about this in years and years.
Nick Lowe & Rockpile.
Can't pick a favourite but TH and Elvis costello at the top with Nick Lowe turning out to be an unknown at the time but loved his work from then on. I was right up the front - only a few hundred on the grounds when we arrived from Boston (hitch hiked - way different times).

Yes I was there and couldn't remember who all I saw. I do remember being one of a few with blue jeans and a T-shirt. It was awesome. It was HOT and people were passed out all over the place. A great youthful memory.

I was there too. We were pretty far up to the front. My friend Diana wore some sort of fur halter top and she was one of the ones that passed out. It was super HOT and I remember scream singing at the top of my lungs and SO MANY PEOPLE. There was a photo in Creem magazine that showed me and my group of friends (Very small in the huge crowd). So sorry I didn't get a copy of that

I was there. I will never forget it. Great show. I remember Elvis coming out and starting with ‘shot with my own fun’ doing it acapella. I was 16, and had a purple Volkswagen Beetle me and my friend Goodman went.
