Sounds like a good show! I believe the original guitarist and bassist were still with them then. I know there was quite a few shows at UMASS around that time, as well.

I saw the Pretenders at Southeastern Ma university No Dartmouth Ma in February 1981. Opening Act Alan Walker band (I think). Not listed on your site.
