The Bangles - 1987-06-18 - New York, NY (HQ Aud)

As mentioned in an earlier post, the 1980s saw the rise of female rockers  such as Pat Benatar, The Pretenders (fronted by Chrissie Hynde), The Go Gos, 10,000 Maniacs (fronted by Natalie Merchant), and The Bangles, just to name a few. After gaining some recognition in 1984 with their debut album, All Over The Place, The Bangles found themselves on top of the rock world in 1986 after the release of their second disc, Different Light. The album reached number two on the Billboard Charts, and spawned four top 40 singles, including Manic Monday, which went to #2 in April, and Walk Like An Egyptian, which climbed to the top of the charts for 4 weeks in December. The band also received extensive airplay on MTV, furthering their popularity. The ride at the top would only last another 2 years, but it was fun while it lasted. This high quality audience recording captures The Bangles at their peak, on June 18, 1987, 31 years ago today, at Pier 84 in New York.
