Frank M 181 Posted February 18, 2015 We might have done this before, but I don't care. J. Geils Band with the Motels opening up at Blossom Music Center, summer 1982. It was the Freeze Frame Tour, right when the album came out. Newbie will remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ELVIS! 12 Posted February 18, 2015 Elvis Presley 1970. Front row on the side of the stage. That's before they warned you about obstructed views. The back up singers where in my way. Elvis saw we couldn't see and came and sat on the edge of the stage directly in front of me and sang a song. That's how you keep fans decades after you die even. Take care of your fans. Oh. I was 10 years old. Answer in advance. He didn't get fat until around 1975. Best concert I've ever went to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunnysBastatrds 2,557 Posted February 18, 2015 Cheap Trick and Uriah Heap at the Saenger Theater in 1982. First time I ever saw people freely smoking the ganga in the open. People were taking bongs out in the lounge area and the cops didn't care. You never wear your concert T the next day of school after a concert. You wait a few days. Everybody knows you went to the show as you talked about it for weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They kicked ass with classics. It's ok, don't feel bad you can D/L the MP3 and recreate history. (All jokes aside they did record those shows for a live Album) Crazy that '83 was their "farewell" tour and here they are playing their 50th anerversary tour in 2015 (32 years later) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
