Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 2725813, member: 2500"] Think I only went to Hartford for a show once while I was in Storrs. November 1978: Tom Waits and Leon Redbone. I can't recall if the building was going under the name Hard Rock or Agora at the time (I thought it was the latter, but I'm told that name wasn't used until 1980 or so). There was supposed to be a third opening act but they didn't show. So without the opening act the owners apparently decided not to open the doors at the scheduled time, but it was raining out. And as we were getting wet, who else but Waits himself comes through the crowd saying hi to everyone, then starts banging on the door, yelling, "Hey, we're getting wet out here!" until the door opened a couple minutes later.
