    I was in the second row and saw them at the Brook Theater in Bound Brook NJ in 88 or 89. I was a teenager in the 80’s and saw every great band including Rush on Presto, Metallica on And Justice for all. So many shows, but BLUE MURDER WAS INSANE!! I had goosebumps thru the whole show. They did the song Blue Murder and Carmine had glowing green sticks. Tony hopped around barefoot and played a sick bass solo “if I only had a brain” on fretless😂😂.
    2 years sooner and these guys would have been huge.
