Wiki says:
Mississippi Nights was a music club in St. Louis, Missouri. It opened on October 11, 1976 and was located at 914 N 1st Street, on the western bank of the Mississippi River, four blocks north of the Gateway Arch in Laclede's Landing.
Concerts at the venue, which held up to 1,000 people, were often "all ages" events, with just over one percent restricted to patrons 21 and over.
The club is the subject of a song on the album Venue Songs by They Might Be Giants. George Thorogood & the Destroyers' album Live: Let's Work Together features tracks recorded at Mississippi Nights.
While closed now, they have a website where you can buy merch: https://store.mississippinights.com/index.php
We don't have the cue sheet for this, but I did find a newspaper ad.
And there's a mystery. Or at the least a contradiction.
The Billboard listing says this was scheduled for broadcast June 21, 1982...this was in Billboard a week AFTER that date on June 26. But the print ad I found for the Mississippi Nights club shows Johansen played on Saturday July 10, 1982.
I don't have an answer to this mystery. It could be Billboard was just plain wrong, or that Johansen played the same club twice in a very short period of time.
