    Tremendous. Nobody's matching this one.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    We were in the front row and she winked at me. I was 4 years old. I'm rather proud of it.

    The show was great. Of course, I was a little overwhelmed it being my first concert and all. I remember that I hated Journey. I liked them later on, but they sure did not impress me at that concert. A couple of years later I saw ELO again. Once again loved it. I think I still have my ELO albums. I need to listen to some of their music again. I can only think of a couple of songs at the moment. One is Roll Over Beethoven, which at the time I thought was their song. Ha!

    P.S. I am a dudette.

    hoarce wimp
    dont bring me down
    shangri-la
    turn to stone
    confusion
    twilight
    ticket to the moon
    the way lifes meant to be
    four little diamonds
    hold on tight
    rain is falling
    last train to london
    living thing
    mr blue sky
    strange magic
    shine a little love
    midnight blue
    need her love
    wishing

    just to name a few!!! such a good band

    this ^ for the song ;)
    give us break, I was a feeble unworldly 13yr old witnessing life as I'd never before seen it. :) If Skid Row went on first then the chances are we missed it: my aunt doesn't do queues(?), we arrived a little after time and departed before the shows conclusion. At U2 on the Zooropa tour we again left before the end and missed all Bono's phone calls etc.

    GN'R were way better than they were in Wembley93. The 91 show was Izzy Stradlins last as a member, so I heard.
