October 2nd, 1986 I saw Journey for the Raised on Radio Tour

I was ALMOST at Neal Schon's wedding. Well, one of them. One of my wife's good friends from high school was married to him in the 90's. My wife got to go to the wedding and meet him, but I had to work a mandatory Saturday. I was pretty ticked

THat would have been something to remember for sure. I've known their interim singer Soto for fifteen years or so through interviews and shows with a few of his former bands. Schon and he formed a pretty cool band called Soul Sirkus and were pretty tight. The news he was released came as a major surprise. Oh yeah, you mentoioned Rush? Can't deal with Geddy at all. Not even a little. Great musician, sounds like a Muppet when he sings.

I started big and nothing has been the equal since

Queen at Richfield Colesium (Cleveland) 1982 Billy Squier opened.

I've seen Rush several times. Always a great show.

KISS 1982 Creatures of the Night Tour. It was the last tour with make-up. I was 12 years old. I was in heaven.

Tom Petty - Damn the Torpedos tour. No idea when it was or how I got home...

Jealous, I'd have loved to see them in their prime. Especially that tour with Dylan.

[vulcan2074]

My first concert ever was the Def Jam tour with LL Cool J and DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince with Whodinni. My first Rock concert was Primus. It was insane. I would love to see them again.
