The Harbor Club was a seafood restaurant that had been around Tampa for years. It had a space upstairs where they would have shows, not punk rock stuff, mellow music. From what I understand, The authorities got wind of the Arts Alive show, shut it down, but...the bookers were able to convince the manager of the Harbor Club to have the "acoustic band playing Buffet type stuff" play there. I remember thinking about the people eating their shrimp cocktails downstairs, while GG was doing his thing upstairs, simultaneously! An amazing show. Classic stuff! That 1989 GG Allin tour was brutal. Photos, Marshall Dickson. Interviewer, Chuck.
