Trivia and Facts
- The crowd depicted in Buffalo outside the War Memorial Auditorium was actually waiting for the Van Halen 1984 tour stop in Buffalo. In a clever move, concert officials had kept the doors shut to let the waiting crowd build up.
- Patrick Wilson, who later became a drummer for Weezer, was part of this crowd. This concert motivated him to take drum lessons.
- Musician Rick James was also present at this event. Patrick Wilson often talks to his friends about seeing James and his group up close on the concert floor.
- An interesting continuity error occurs in one of Bobby’s concerts. The venue appears to shift between an amphitheater and an arena in different shots of the crowd.
