(3M). Duct tape (the WWII military version) was first created and manufactured in 1942 (approximate date) by the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division. Its closest predecessor was medical tape." http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/ducttape.htm

"do you realize how many ducks it took to make that roll of tape?" This was the night they played at Emerson College sometime during the '80's.

It might have been just the Outlets, or possibly the Marshalls also on the bill? I think that was the 1st time the Outlets played out, and they did all, or almost all covers.

It's entirely possible I am mixing up two Outlets shows at the Fensgate. I saw them there in what I believe was their 1st time playing out and they did almost all covers, maybe 100% covers. Opening for the DKs was a pretty sweet gig, so it could be they played the Fensgate twice, once opening for some locals as their 1st show, and then later for the DKs, when they had written some originals. If there was no 3rd act on the bill, then I am certain that's the case.
