Show Notes:

Second of three concerts at the venue.

EC had played on the Pros & Cons Of Hitch-Hiking album and then signed on as the lead guitarist for Waters’ 1984 Tour.

A part of the Meadowlands Sports Complex, the venue operated under several official names:
Brendan Byrne Arena (1981-1996)
Continental Airlines Arena (1996-2007)
Izod Center (2007-2015)
Meadowlands Arena (2015-)
It was often referred to as the “Meadowlands Arena” due to its location within the sports complex; even event tickets would use the nickname rather than the official names. After closing to the public in 2015, the venue officially became the Meadowlands Arena, but no longer has signage. Since then, it has been used as a rehearsal venue for large-scale concert tours and as a soundstage facility for video and television productions.
