Going through the gate search at the LA Sports arena for Pink Floyd and the gate guard feels the bulging baggie in my sock and askes what it is. I told him it wasn't a weapon, that was good enough for him.

Place called Legend Valley east of Columbus,Ohio that had concerts. There was a 8' high chain link pen about 10' in diameter that the bouncers would toss bottles into, booze running out down the pathway. Kinda built on the side of a hill, they would have a sprinkler hose setup spraying water and it turned into a 100' mud slide chute that crazies (NO, not bb) would body surf down. Get all cut up to hell.

Well my concert-going days were in the 80's but I did go see Bob Seger Farwell Tour last year with my twin sister she got tickets from work and her Hubby said Bob Segar...Yuck I'll pass. So she treated me to a concert and some potent strawberry cough vape in the parking garage at the BOK Center . I couldnt hardly walk in but it was great.

Through the 80s I saw (Man the eighties were great - Big Hair, spandex, and big boobs the women were so tasty!!)
KISS (2) first concert was during the Iran Hostage crisis in Dec 1979, It was very anti-Iran and this was in the deep south. Crazy, angry, violent.
Dokken
Ratt (2)
Bon Jovi
Van Halen (4 all with DLR)
Tesla (3)
Poison
Great White (2)
Queensryche (2)
Ted Nugent/Alcatraz (the night Yngwie Malmsteen walked off stage and quit Alcatraz in the middle of a set)
Pat Benatar
Cheap Trick
Heart
Fleetwood Mac
Winger
Femme Fatale (Loraine Lewis was insanly hot!)
Hal and Oats acoustic show (trying to impress a girl from college)
Ozzy (2)
Motley Crue
Bullet Boys
Europe
While Lion
Steelheart
Black n Blue
Joan Jett
Jefferson Starship
Slaughter
Rick Springfield (I had no idea he was such an accomplished guitar player)
Whitesnake
Warrant (2)
Lita Ford
Vixen
Def Leppard
Sammy Hagar (3)
Journey
Y&T
Stryper
Lover Boy/ Honeymoon Suite
Night Ranger


Thats all I can remember Im sure Im missing one or two...maybe more
Some of these were at the same venue/date
I cant think of anyone that I regret ever missing.
The only thing I miss was the 80s Hair Bands, The crazy and Horny Women at the concerts, California Sensi, Thai Stick and I cant leave out that Lebanese Blonde Hash!

I had GnR tickets once but didn't bother turning up because my friend had hooked up some dynamite "refreshments" for the band earlier in the day. I heard Axl was over 2 hours late to that show, and had to slash the set list due to the venue's curfew (no pun intended).

My biggest regret band wise is probably not seeing Alice in Chains while Layne was still alive. Should've seen his death coming really, but thought I'd get to it eventually, and left it too late. Saw the band a couple of times with the new singer. While Jerry Cantrell blew me away, the vocals just didn't quite cut it, and their new material doesn't really stand up to the old.

I got to see King Crimson back in the day. Was awesome!

Just wanted to mention to you'z that like King Crimson that when a couple friends and I seen Genesis '79 or '80 at the
L.A. Forum (good seats), half way through the show Genesis started playing "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" and
who comes down and sits next to me was Robert Fripp (next to him sat down was either his wife or GF) founder/guitarist for King Crimson.
Most likely the reason
he came and sat down half way through the show was to see Bill Bruford who joined the band for Lamb
Lies Down On Broadway. So for that song there was 3 drummers on stage, Phil Collins, Chester Thomson and
Bill Bruford. Before Robert sat down, apparently someone that had the seat prior to him was in the wrong seat and had
left a Genesis Tour Book under the seat so Robert Fripp noticed it grabbed it and asked me if I would like to have it
and I said 'Sure! Thank you!". So Robert ended up giving me a Genesis Tour Book lol. What a trip that was an a moment
to cherish to this day and beyond.

Off subject and a question to all, what was the worst show/concert you've seen?
The worst I seen was Todd Rungren at The Greek Theater in L.A. early on. At one point he had this big screen come down/appear on
stage with some fucked up cartoon images flashing and the words to the song he was singing
running along the bottom of the screen with a solid small ball jumping from word to word as he
was singing them. WTF was that! That was all too much so my buddy and I got up and left the show
half way through it.
