Both REM and the Replacemats played there(Fridays).  A few years back, I
was at one
of Burley's infamous swap meets when a guy gave me a Friday's key chain.
It rocks (and still glows in the dark).
The Edge was kind of corny, if I remember right.  Turtle somehow managed
to rock and suck at the same time.  
When are club owners gonna realize that good sound & lites makes for good
show?
