John Prine, 1992, Nashville (can't remember the venue). My older brothers and their friends took me after I asked to go, which is pretty strange for a 5 year old.

Motley Crue - Girls, Girls, Girls Tour

Opening act: Guns and Roses when nobody knew who they were. Saw them about a month before Appetite for Destruction dropped.

The album dropped right before they started opening for The Cult, the August of '87. They toured with Crue that fall about the time Welcome to the Jungle video started airing. But your'e right, nobody really knew who they were until summer of '88 when Sweet Child O mine started getting MTV airplay. I remember a story that Nikki Sixx OD'ed the first night of the tour with GNR. I think it was Biloxi.

Peter Frampton, Mobile Municipal Auditorium, July 4 1976. He was literally on top of the musical world at the time. Gary Wright ("Dreamweaver", "Love is Alive") opened.

I was 15, first time I ever smelled weed and knew what it was. Before that day I thought it was the incense my brother burned in his bedroom late at night...

The World Slavery Tour for Iron Maiden was my first concert, too. At the UNO Lakefront Arena, W.A.S.P. was the opening act.

I'm 47 and wear 2 hearing aids, I'm certain that concert was the primary cause for my hearing loss. But the concert was f'ING awesome!!

I was a kid who got to sell cokes at Neyland Stadium in 1984 when The Jacksons Victory Tour came through town. People were paying crazy money to get in. I made $50.00 in tips and got to sit and watch once the concert started.

Van Halen
The Doobie Brothers
The Rolling Stones

Louisiana Superdome July 13, 1978

I think the ticket was $14.70 which is $57.15 in today's dollars. Still a bargain for a great line up.

CCR in Shreveport late '60s or early '70s.
Nothing fancy just amps stacked really high and a few lights but really loud!
