Okay, according to this band's PR, the Sunset Junction Street Fair was on 8/25 in 1983

But it also sounds like it's a 2-day even (or at least it is now since it's been an annual thing since like 1980) - and 8/25/83 was a Thursday

I'd say this press release pretty much confirms this being a 1983 show.

Excellent work! :applause:

Got an email back from the guy, he's pretty sure it was 1983. Apparently they were made by the band's original bassist Rich Evac - who left in late '84

I’ve just been trying to go through some things with a fine tooth comb and decided to look into this show a little further. It appears we have the year and location wrong. From what I can tell the year should be 1984 and the location should be Silver Lake.

Article taken from the LA Weekly dated August 24-30, 1984

This was definitely 1984 (as Mike figured out) because Sunset Junction is always on the weekend and August 25th was a Thursday in 1983 and a Saturday in 1984.

Main reason I'm posting is because the flyer image link in helicine's OP is now broken; the year got changed in the .jpg filename so it should now be

helicine broke it. It’s all his fault. :P It’s fixed now.

RiotNrrrd did you ever check this out? In the limited amount of time I’ve spent researching this show I found an article from 1985 that said the attendance for the 1984 fair was 300,000 people. This has to be the largest crowd Psi-Com ever played in front of whether they wanted to hear them or not. :yikes:

300,000?!? That sounds like crazy talk. I've been to Sunset Junction a few times and there's a lot of people, but 300,000 is a LOT of lot of people :biggrin:
