The Legendary Toad's Place Stories from New Haven's Famed Music Venue

Anyone who has lived near New Haven, Connecticut, in the past 40-plus years has surely heard of Toad's Place. With a capacity of 750, Toad's has served as the perfect spot for musicians who prefer smaller venues. U2 played one of their first US concerts there, on their Boy tour. In 1978, Bruce Springsteen was in New Haven and arrived at Toad's unannounced, and got up and played. The surprises kept coming and the club was attracting big names, as well as up-and-comers. In 1989, the Rolling Stones played a surprise show on a Saturday night, giving 700 fans the night of their dreams. Nothing could have been better - the Rolling Stones in downtown New Haven was unimaginable! That is only a taste of the stories that are uncovered in this book.
