  I figured Rick Astley would win this thread. In my defense, he was an opener for NKOTB

Oh, that's why I saw NKOTB, too.  Just because I was 13 and had no idea how to go about accomplishing that, and it did not happen, does not mean I'm FOS.

 Saw him at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival a few months before he died. He came out in an Indian War Chief head dress and played” Texas Flood”. Incredible show.

Wow! What fun! You all are out here really living life. It's like you all are Richie Rich! I don't think the average person has been able to see so many concerts.

ETA,

Google says people go to 2 to 5 concerts/year. So, it's really just me who didn't go out much. I just thought going to a concert was special and expensive.

In the 70's concerts cost about the same as an album, so it was easy to go.

Thank you!

I saw both on the same night when Thin Lizzy opened for Queen at The Forum in L.A. in 1977. The place was half filled during Thin Lizzy's set and I don't know if it was because those who came to see Queen didn't care about the opening act and were being fashionably late, or perhaps it was L.A. traffic which was bad even back then. In any event the sparse crowd was rather indifferent to Thin Lizzy (which I thought was great, whose first tune was The Boys Are Back in Town) with only just polite applause.

 Loved Thin Lizzy. Best Irish IMO. Im sure Bowie was incredible. Had tickets for him in the Supper.Dome but couldn’t go as I had broken ribs and ankle.

Never saw the cult, but would have loved to. Kid from my highschool was an amazing bass player. Was on bass player magazine when he was like 16 or 17. Anyway he was in the cult for several years. Also played with ozzy and Ace. He was in that Metallica movie, Some Kind Of Monster for a few seconds, he was one of the dudes who tried out when Jason quit. How name is Chris Wyes. he's also I pretty big session player

 Ive seen The Cult five times. GNR opened for them in 88. The last show of that tour. They all got on stage and played two songs for the encore. Amazing show. Also,heard heard them playing when was by myself playing golf on the back nine at City Park, which wasn’t far for the VooDoo Festival. Good times, good times.
