3 Dog Night: gen'l adm.
streakers! As I stood near front, a person behind me must've wanted me to sit on the floor b/c I was punched in the neck (ouch!:-(

Kansas/Foghat: gen'l adm.
The front row was too crowded, so I sat on top a gate off to side of the stage.

Grateful Dead: reserv.
If you like dancin' trippin' flower-clothed hippies--you're in! (boring:-(

Rolling Stones: gen'l adm.
We were hours late arrivin' so I found out later that Geo. Thorogood had played a great set but the crowd had
boo'd Journey off stage! I stood front n' center about 3' from barricade, passed-out while still standin' from
the crowd compression and heat! I got myself up on other people's shoulders to get some air, when they started
throwin buckets of water on the crowd!

Billy Joel: reserv.
This was a white-shirt, black-tie event! Unsuspectin', we went in and lit up, enjoyed the show!

Rod Stewart: stadium
Lotsa room to move! We went free with the Pres. of Herco's daughter, Josie!

BonJovi/SkidRow: stadium
Another freebie with Josie! Sebastian Bach ran onstage durin' Bon Jovi's set and mooned the crowd!

Slaughter/Winger/Kiss: box seats
One more freebie with Josie, we were in the safety of the press box! Gene Simmons walked along cat walk in front of
us and stuck out his tongue (gross!;-/

ZZ Top: box seats
The last of the freebies with Josie. I had a flu bug which prevented me from enjoyin' the show. I laid my head down
and plugged my fingers into my ears the whole show!

Def Leppard: reserv.
I did not see Josie in press box, but I was high up and saw her walk by. The best is yet to come!

Megadeth: reserv.
Our seats were high up, but close enough to the stage, Cheap Trick put on a great show even!

Black Sabbath/B.O.C.: reserv.
A long road trip! It was just great to be there, even far in the back!

Bryan Adams/Mr. Big: reserv.
The 2nd stage set up in the back near our seats was where Bryan invited fans to join him! It was very crowded
on that small platform!

Cold Gin--Kiss tribute band: N/A
this was a 'blind date' that added the thrill of seeing a great band! OK, I give it a 7.5/10.

Ozzie: reserv.
This show a friend had commented, "It's the only show you ever need to attend!" Ha! We were so far back on
the floor, we couldn't even see the stage! I went to press box and stayed/danced with my 'ole friend Josie!

Metallica: gen'l adm.
@ Williams Grove Speedway, standin' near front/side of stage, Jason was checkin' me out, speakin' to me
(as if I could read lips:-) somethin' 'bout a trailer backstage--but it wasn't Joe--so who cares? teehee, great show!

Rock the Rockies! gen'l adm.
(free tix) fly 1800 mi. then stand in the mud for 6 hours! It rained, Foreigner, Lynyrd Skynyrd called off show,
I hitch-hiked to old Stapleton Airport to get there, bummed a ride back to my hotel in exchange for 3 guys from Kansas
who needin' to change out of their soakin' wet clothes!

Ted Nugent/Bad Co.: reserv.
Golden Circle/stadium. It would've been better if I had someone to go with! I enjoyed Stranglehold to the max, tho:-)

Lynyrd Skynyrd/Bad Co revised: gen'l adm.
Star Pavilion, on the grass with blanket, Paul Rogers really put on a great show, then I danced up a storm
with Lynyrd Skynyrd (on blanket:-), when some unknown youngster ran up behind me and started grindin' my butt;-/
I made the cross sign with my fingers, said, "See the grays? You're only half my age!" He n' his friends didn't
seem to care, laughin' as tho it was done as a dare!

John Mellencamp: reserv.
Star Pavilion 6th row center--some females tried to squeeze in front, but I wasn't gonna have it! I grabbed
them both and had security throw them out!

Poison, Cinderella & Dokken: reserv.
Star Pavilion, WAY in the back row; for WTPA Birthday Bash Brawl!

AC/DC: reserv.
Spectrum--the concert was very exciting, the way that Angus gets the crowd rowdy--but we never expected him
to be walkin around the arena pre-show mingling with concert goers! Our seats sucked, way in the back but that's just
where Angus ended up talkin to a lady in the row before us! I saw the security comin around, Bob spotted Angus
then went to shake his hand, Scotty got his auto on the ticket! We were all partying before and after the concert,
so it was a perfect weekend in Phila., with AC/DC. Too bad, we split to go to separate motels; if we had stayed in
the sports bar, we found out from other guests the next morning, that Angus was walkin round that hotel!

Winger, Cinderella & Poison: reserv.
Star Pavilion

The Who and Robert Plant: reserv.
Hershey Stadium

On stage guest at Star Pavilion; Sammy was passing us his drink and gave me a high five!
