Today marks the 40th anniversary of the band’s first show–April 5, 1980–at a deconsecrated Episcopal church, St. Mary’s, on Oconee Street in Athens.

Sandra-Lee Phipps ‘ amazing photos of the band from that night inspired the following memories:

“I look the youngest!!” – Bill

“I bought that jacket in New York when Michael and I went there right before our first show.” – Peter

“I look like I should be in the Yardbirds!” – Mike

“Jawline jawline cheekbone cheekbone” – Michael
