#OnThisDay In 1983, The English Beat perform at Buffalo State in the Gymnasium with R.E.M. as their opening act. The Beat actually broke up later in 1983, with some members forming General Public. R.E.M., on the otherhand, had just released their debut album, Murmur, two days prior. There is a recording of The Beat’s performance that can be listened to online. Did you go to show? Have you seen either of these groups? This Buffalo history post was brought to you by Hi-Fi Hits Records and More!
