1976 - Heart, Orleans, Burton Cumings at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade in Boston. I was 13 at the time, took the train in from the suburbs (parents drove me and picked me up at the station). Burton Cummings' big solo hit was "Stand Tall", Orleans had "Still The One", and Heart played an encore of "Stairway To Heaven"....

You're probably right....

1982 I think....Quarterflash / J. Giels Band. I wanted to go see The Police who performed the night before, but couldn't convince my buddy who insisted that this show would be better.

I saw Ozzy with Queensryche opening in 1986? at the St. Pete Bayfront center. I remember Queensryche had a stage the size of my living room, and barely moved. The cute girl in our group hung out in the parking lot in her bra while we all drank warm beer as pot was passed around. For a sheltered 16 yr old, I was in heaven.
Long Live Rock!

1982 The Who with The Clash as their opening band in Seattle.
Edit: Damn . . . I was feeling so cool because I still like these bands, and I just remembered that my stepmom took me to see The Bee Gees in the late '70's in Portland.
