ARGHH! Such classic!
By far the best punk concert I saw in the 80s (in my life actually) was the Dickies opening up for the Ramones at City Gardens in Trenton, NJ.The Dickies - Stukas Over Disneyland (1983)

And this is my favorite Dickies album.

Looking forward to giving that a listen.Okay just checking because there's a great bootleg from that same venue but from 82!

City Gardens was a dumpy club in a shit neighborhood that happened to have some of the best music of the 80s & 90s.
There's a book called "No Slam Dancing. No Stage Diving. No Spike. An Oral History of the Legendary City Gardens" that is an absolutely fascinating read. It's amazing how many major acts played in that place.
