In celebration of this occasion, I thought I'd break out a few vintage pictures from the local music archive, from back in Aldo's early days in the late '80s as a one-room venue, with bands playing in the corner by the front door of the current restaurant room.

From some time in fall of 1987, the Back Street Boyz, featuring Terry Hammel, Rich Ryan, Denny Gibson and Harold Hammel.

From August 22, 1987, Wayne Ellis and Bob Hammond of the Rolling Rockers.

From fall of 1987 when zebra-striped spandex was in vogue, Doug Moudy and Steve Bruce of Saber Tooth.

Also from fall of 1987, Mark Triforo and Scott Imler of The Edge.

From sometime in summer of 1987, Bryan Weimert and Jay Randyll Ketner of Tommi-Gunn.
