November 22, 8pm, Queensboro Community College Arts Center in beautiful Bayside, Queens.
Many years ago I saw "National Lampoon's Lemmings" at this theatre - it featured John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase and some of the other Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time-Players before Saturday Night Live was on TV.

Also the scene of the crime of a KinKs show or two and and Ray show. I think that was the one Ray walked off stage at during the reading of his book?  |

Ray was peed off when he played at the new (at the time) Kupferberg Center at Queens College (not Queensborough CC). The Kinks probably also played at Queens College's Colden Auditorium (where my high school had its graduation ceremony and was supposedly the source of the live LP from The Byrds double-LP, "Untitled"). |

i was at the show where ray got annoyed at queens college. that was a nice little hall for that show. when rays anger passed the show went just fine. i think some jerk kept calling out songs and ray was doing storyteller and the requests intefered with the flow of the show. speaking of the byrds i recently saw roger mcguinn in a small theater at the henry street settlement on the lower east side. first time i'd seen mcguinn in over 25 years when he played at my fathers place in roslyn,l.i. similar format to story teller and roger's stories of the songs and the times were interesting.

There was a heckler at that show but Ray handled him just fine, it was when he was reading from his book and the the intro tape of songs that he played at the start of the show came on by accident over his reading and that was the straw that broke the camels back and when Ray slammed the book down on stage and walked off. I went back to see how things were going at that point. It actually all started earlier that day at the sound check. The show almost didn't even happen, Ray was very upset with the sound during sound check and had to be convinced not to cancel it. However at the show after he walked off he did come back 20 mintues later and said forget the reading of the book ( X-Ray ) we're just gonna play songs and have a good time and that's just what he did. It turned out to be a very interesting show.

Saw Peter Noone a couple of years ago. It was a great show.
Also saw Roger McGuinn do his solo show a couple of years ago. It was very interesting to hear him play guitar and listen to his discussion.
