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.

OUCH!

I've got both of them on my Pandora radio station list.

Never got to see KISS. They came through town when I was grounded. Imagine that!!!

For what Gene charges for tickets, I'm not sure I would go see them as long as Peter and Ace are persona non grata.

😞

Got yer army card?

got that from my neighbor at a garage sale!

I saw that same tour. That was Friday night, the next night I saw Foghat with Sammy Hagar and Pat Travers opening acts..............=d>

In Baton Rouge?

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

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.

Houston

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.

my first concert....

Aerosmith 1976.. I was 14..

Stoned ....

Similar, wish I could remember, so many, started somewhere around then as well, you and I must be within months of the same age. Many of the acts would hit Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock, Dallas, Houston.

Coulda been Raisin' Kane, Rush, or Thin Lizzy, Nazareth, Journey,wish I still had the old ticket stubs, once did, old high school GF chunked 'em I think? I started somewhere in 76 or 77 myself.

Probably not going to The Chili Peppers concert, but, would love to herf, if the timing is right. Just give me a holler next time you are in the N.O. area.

I'll be in Red Stick today to visit my Dad in the hospital. (back surgery) Seems we'll miss each other today, sadly. I won't be missin' T.J. Ribs, however. My wife hasn't eaten there before, and is in for a treat. LOL!

You? Or the band?

I saw them in '77. Worst concert I've ever been to. Tyler was so wasted he didn't hit a single note all night. Huge waste of $9.00. Brownsville Station opened. And were better.
