Allen Theatre: T Rex

 Fifty years ago tonight, T Rex played to a half-filled house. I can still remember Micky Finn throwing handfuls of T Rex - The Slider buttons into the crown when they played Get It On. That was the night the box office window was broken by some drug crazed fan. The Doobies were lame as always.
