  1. Track 8 is Cosa Nostra/Spoonful, track 10 is Joey Joey a Bob Dylan song that Johnny recorded on the Hurt Me record. At this show I believe it's Keith Yon on bass, Henri-Paul Tortosa on guitar, Johnny on guitar & vocals. I don't think it's Jerry Nolan on drums. Walter Lure comes up for the last few songs. Thanks for the post.

  2. I was at two of these three "Homecoming" shows Thunders did at the Irving Plaza NYC in April of 1985.. I'm glad it's been archived for posterity. Keep up the great work!
