I’m at the Bon Jovi with the girlfriend and it’s freaking brutal but she’s happy and that’s all that matters.

1979 - Shreveport

Rode in the back of a VW Beetle next to a garbage bag full of ________

An relatively unknown band called Def Leppard opened.

UFO, introduced to my by my guitarist friends, was next...

Then, after they set him up, Terrible Ted came out on stage, picked up his guitar...strummed it once, turned everything up to max volume, then walked backstage...

By the time he came back out, the crowd was nutz....

I have a few:
Saw Pink Floyd at Texas Stadium Dallas. WOW.
Saw some band named Def Leppard at the Monroe Civic Center (long before Photograph had hit MTV).

Saw KISS at a bar in Dallas in early 90's.

Saw Steve Perry solo at a club in Ft Worth in 1994. Dont think he toured again.
