> [@Coriolanus](#): > > This was the “Crackdown on Crack” concert, October 31, 1986 at Madison Square Garden, NYC. David Crosby had recently been released from jail. The Allman Brothers Band reunited after 4 years. Baba was great. And they were all on stage for a jam after the Allmans played “Jessica”. The concert ended after 2 AM. Thank God for this vital fundraiser, as if was not for the “Crackdown On Crack”, the abuse of crack cocaine could have ended up ravishing many of our inner cities with violence and lawlessness…:smack: ---

I would be surprised if anyone can get this one. A three day event and it was not too long ago. Day 1: Jacky Cheung, A-Mei, Da Mouth and Sodagreen Day 2: ZZ Top, No Doubt, Simple Minds and N_E_R\*D Day 3: Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas and Havana Brown I should add that I was in attendance. Great show. Good luck! ---
