• Location / Passaic, NJ, USA
• Venue / Capitol Theatre
• Event / Free Contest Winner Concert

The first show by the band in this city.

The first time at this venue.

The venue is located in the city centre.

It was opened in 1921 and became a movie theater before being used for concerts.

The venue was closed in 1989 and then demolished on 1991.

A Pizza Hut now stands where the venue once was.

This was a free show for competition winning students.

It was organised by the band's record company and New York based radio station WHTZ-100.

The contest was for various schools to send in postcards and potentially win a free concert by the band.

The band still used lasers at the stripped down show which did not feature any support act.

The likely wining school was the local Passaic High School.
