Tonight on Sing Blue Silver, I focused on the US Festival from '82 and '83. These festivals, organized by Steve Wozniak, then of Apple Inc., brought together some of the biggest bands of the era to entertain crowds in the tens of thousands.

I tried to find as many live performances from the first day of both years - typically referred to as the New Wave Day. In the cases where I couldn't find the actual US Festival performance, I still managed to find other rare live performances from US Festival bands.
