GREAT show

Deep Purple Machine Head tour 72.Mom went with me,she would not allow me to go by myself.What a trooper.
Brilliant and loud as f**k.Ears ringing for days.
That concert was taped by the Danish TV and is now out on DVD,so I can relive the whole thing.Wunderbar.

Rainbow...Deeside Ice Rink in the early 80's - shared the bill with Motorhead, followed by REO (Manchester Apollo) and Foreigner(NEC Birmingham). Foreigner should have had NightRanger as the opening act that night but something must have happened and they didn't join the tour :cry:

Oh forgot somewhere inbetween I saw DL at Liverpool..on through the night tour!

No wonder you are so high on SA and down on Perry.

Dude, you NEVER saw Perry live? Dude is an ass, but fuck was he good.....You could put Neals name to those words too, I would imagine.

Don't care to. Have Captured and GHL and the Houston DVD is better than being there. Yes, they rocked. Top of the world. But not my favorite lineup.
Houston does get better and better and better and better w/ each viewing, though. There is not 1 mistake in that show.

I still have the program. I don't remember much about it. Ironically, my second concert was Sammy Hagar, with Krokus opening. :lol:

Hey JoePa did Genesis do Mama?
I know it was an earlier song but
I have heard they do that one in
concert often and it's my fave.

Mama was done, but Home By The Sea/Second Home By The Sea was the drop dead show stopper. Killer.

Saw Scritty Politti at the Cork Tavern. Perfect Way literally brought me and the other patron lurching err leaping to our feet.

by **whocares** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 12:34 am

The first REAL SOMEBODY I saw was Billy Joel in 1979, 2nd to last row at the Purina Checkerdome in St. Louis.

Nig, Sammy & Krokus were great that tour. Sammy especially. VOA tour wasn't it? Screamin' in the night was "just" out for Krokus... I'll never forget that concert.

I actually liked Glass Tiger on the ROR tour, even if they are Canadian. I was deemed too young by my Ma to see the Escape tour and still for the Frontiers tour, because I was still in high school, because she knew what people did at rock concerts. Well DUH! why do you think I wanted to go? :wink:

First JOURNEY concert was in 1998, the Vacation's Over tour in Greensboro NC. Kind of spoiled us, as we tracked down Rindell backstage and convinced him to give us passes, then stood on the side of the stage during sound check. The only downside was Jonathan Cain was a dick to my wife during the meet and greet, but all in all, it was a really cool experience.

That may have been my first "real" rock concert, as I'd seen Tori Amos and Bela Fleck and a few other small acts at the time, but not a big rock and roll show. Steve Perry should have been my first concert, but he cancelled his show in Charleston SC. Shortly after Journey we also saw Prince, so that was a pretty cool one two punch.

Your first concert..
