Or the enormous rolling paper from the "Up in Smoke" album from Cheech and Chong?

Back in the early 80's I went to a Ted Nugent concert when the MCM was still wearing a loincloth and swinging from ropes onstage. Anyway there were two opening acts.

The first act was some german band I'd never heard of called the Skorpions. Who would have known that shortly thereafter the would hit big time with a song called "Rock You Like a Hurricane"

After them was an equally unknown band that when announced it sounded like Death Leopard. Who would have known the would hit the big time with mega hits like "Pour Some Sugar on Me"

I was lucky to be a teenager growing up in the '80's. Luckier still now that I have a teenaged son who enjoys the same music I still love and who also loves going to concerts featuring those "old" bands.

My only regret is when Lynyrd Skynyrd is in the area, they only seeme to play the casinos. Since he is not yet 21, he can't go.

I'm a bit younger than you, Anthony. (41). I went to a concert when I was just a kid to see Ozzy (formerly of Black Sabbath) first solo tour. A great band of kids not a whole lot older than me opened up the show here in N.O., yep, Metallica. A real metalhead was born that day. I spent allot of time after that chasing all things Metallica. I saw Faith No More at Jed's on Oak street before they made it, too.

Good memories! I Wasn't worried about anything important then. I just didn't know any better. Bliss.

first concert was David Lee Roth Eat em & Smile

Went wholly on the premise that Steve Vai & Billy Sheehan were in the band. Some "unknown" group at the time named Cinderella opened

great show

Mine was Peter Frampton in '79 I think. I was 14 or 15. My sister and I managed to out run everyone when they opened the doors at the LSU Assmbley Center, now known as the PMAC. Front and center on the barricades. Looked up the whole night. Haven't stood on the front row since.

Jacque by chance are you going to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers in October. My son and I are going. Be nice to get together for a herf before the concert. If not, perhaps we can herf anyway.
