    Nice! I saw them in Birmingham that tour as a sixth grader. For a three year stretch my parents took my sis and me to one show per year:

    '84 Lionel Richie/Tina Turner
    '85 Hall & Oates
    '86 Stevie Wonder

    Good times and, thanks to my folks, a solid entry into the world of live music. My memory of the chronology has always been fuzzy until I did a web search thanks to the OP's thread. Thanks, BLux!

    Also in '86 my dad took me to the most memorable show from my early years --> Van Halen w/ Sammy Hagar newly behind the wheel.

    I still have my ticket stubs. The Rush show was a whopping $9.00. Even I could afford that with my meager allowance my parents gave me.

    I worked at my dad's shoe factory for $3.10 per hour to feed my concert habit when I was 15!

    The Monkees 20th Anniversary tour, 1986, at the local community college. Monkees, Herman's Hermits, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Grass Roots. This was when MTV randomly started running old Monkees episodes and me and my middle school friends got super into them. Fun show!
