They opened with Thunderstruck and I couldn't make out the song until about halfway through as the crowd was ridiculously loud. Then you had that damn bell that Brian hit w a sledge and was LOUD as hell. To end the show and ruin my hearing some more, the cannons for Those about to Rock went off...
What a show.
Whole lotta Rosie they had a huge inflatable woman that Brian suckled, lol.
Also Aerosmith. Around '94. Megadeth opened. I just remember all beer sales were cut off as soon as Aerosmith hit the stage. Me and my buddy were quite pissed. Good show, but why are you cutting everyone off just because you may be an alcoholic?
Kiss....1983 Creatures of the Night tour. The drum riser sat on a tank turret.
First tour without Ace
I saw the L.A. show on this tour....Motley Crue opened.
You saw Vintage Crue. This was just before Shout came out.
I got to see them at the Whisky 'a go go in Hollywood right before they released their first album on an indie label. Also saw Metallica open for Saxon at the same venue....the good old days of Sunset Strip metal!
First show was Alabama and Charlie Daniels Band went with my mom I was 9. It was back when you could smoke indoors and I remember my mom made the woman in front of us put out her cigarette.

That must have been fun! I saw plenty of music on the strip, but 10 years too late for this.
^Doesn't seem that long ago. I guess it was. Did you get the devil went down to Georgia? Probably a blast of a show.
It was 38 years ago I'm sure he played it just don't remember. Only things I remember is the woman smoking and the singer for Alabama spinning around while singing.

KROQ had Weenie Roast and Almost Acoustic Christmas shows that were packed like this w awesome bands. In 94 or 95 Sublime played and Bradley was the king of Kinkos at the time and made like 200 Backstage passes for all their friends and inundated the show w their peeps, lol.
My first concert was a local band named Violet Fox. Circa 1985. They played in a movie theater that had a small stage. My friend's mom dropped us off and picked us up after.
I had no idea who they were, and the only reason I still remember it was that the lead singer kept chanting, 'Violet Fox, fuckin' rocks!' I was probably around 14 at the time, and I thought that was really cool.
First arena show was Def Leppard at the Hartford Civic Center in '87.
My first show. Eddie joined Neil on stage for Rocking in The Free World.
Nirvana would have been my second show.
Wow. That Nirvana ticket is something else. He was passed by that time.
Crazy.
Yeah, at the time it was thought that it was the actual date of his death as its the date that he was found. The stubs were supposedly selling for hundreds of pounds. The show its self was already postponed due to the Rome incident.

Then you have another that got to see the original Maiden lineup w Di'anno on vocals. Cool as hell.
