Played all the hits, but I was really uncomfortable in the back of the floor by the bar entrance.

Appreciate the story/insight. I had the same experience for The Clash's opening night at Bond's Disco in Times Square (The old Bond's Dept. Store, BTW.)
Great gig/performance by the band, but I was worried the entire night about getting trampled during a fire, etc. NYC Fire Dept. closed down the rest of the shows.
