ArcLight's Concerts


In no particular order...

February 12, 1991. Blue Oyster Cult. At a nice little theater where we could get close. With Helen, Leanne and Doug.

February 12, 1991
December 16, 1992

December 16, 1992. With Helen. Great White opened but I don't remember if we saw them or not.

December 11, 1993. Heart. Good show but short. Believe that was with Mary, Liz and Helen.

December 11, 1993
October 19, 1994

October 19, 1994. Aerosmith with Helen.

September 12, 1990. Slaughter and Winger opened. With Helen.

September 12, 1990
September 9, 1994

September 9, 1994. Tori Amos with Liz downtown in the convention center.

July 14, 1994. Yes put on one heck of a show. Brought their own speakers in to the outdoor arena and did some wild stuff with the sound looping around our heads. Funny to see people's heads whip around as suddenly they heard a chorus or solo come up from behind them. With Helen and Liz.

July 14, 1994
July 13, 1991

July 13, 1991. Alice Cooper on the "Operation Rock and Roll" tour. With Helen.

May 13, 1995. Well, not really. Queensryche were supposed to play on the 13th, but there had been some serious rain and the place was a mudhole from the show the night before (elsewhere on this page) so they rescheduled but I'm not sure when. Pretty good show.

May 13, 1995
May 12, 1995

May 12, 1995. Melissa Etheridge was the show that got rained on the night before the Queensryche show. Didn't seem to bother the audience too bad. Was a fun show anyway. This is back when she rocked out pretty good on stage. Did a killer version of "You Shook Me All Night" long. And the audience was full of women.

March, 28, 1988. KISS with Anthrax opening. With Helen.

March 28, 1988
March 2, 1994

March 2, 1994. The Scorpions. I didn't see them in Germany so I pretty much had to see them when they came around. Had some serious Spinal Tap moments watching the show. Think the bunch of us went - Helen, Liz, Mary and Sharon. Either that or this is the group that went to the Heart show and I've got them mixed up.

February 28, 1993. First Extreme show. Went with Joe and Helen.

February 28, 1993
February 23, 1988

February 23, 1988. Mine and Helen's first Alice Cooper show. An awesome experience, even if Motorhead hopend and I got elbowed in the head several times by the girls behind me. The guitar pick and dollar bill elsewhere came from here.

July 28, 2004. KISS/Poison "Rock the Nation" tour. With Kristin. Her first KISS show. "The most awesome thing I've ever seen" was her take on it. Smart girl.

July 28, 2004
September 19, 2003

September 19, 2003. From the KISS/Aerosmith "World Domination" tour. I didn't stick around for Aerosmith.

April 20 and October 6 of 2000. The "Farewell Tour" came around twice. Went with Robbie. Saw Ted Nugent and Skid Row open the first time around.

April 20 and October 6, 2000
August 9, 1997

August 9, 1997. Helen and I saw our second Tubes show. Steppenwolf was there, too.

August 28, 1996. The KISS reunion show with Helen, Liz and Rich.

August 28, 1996
June 28, 1996

June 28, 1996. Alice Cooper. The Scorpions and some group called My Head were there, also. Not sure who I went with, but I imagine Helen was there.

April 15, 1995. Second Extreme show I was at. First was better - also at better venue. Sidonna opened. Helen was with me.

April 15, 1995
July 6, 1993

July 6, 1993. Def Leppard, with Ugly Kid Joe. Liz, Helen and Joe were there with me. Might be the show where Liz was giving a better show than the group. Lying on her stomach on the grass as she was, she was giving a heck of a view down her shirt. Man, I'm in trouble if she reads this.

August 18, 1987. Frehley's Comets show with Helen. Faster Pussycat opened. Not many people cared. Most of the audience were KISS fans (guilty) waiting for Ace. Y&T were the headliners. We weren't the only ones that left before they took the stage. Waiting outside to get in, one of the stadium guys was talking about how much better behaved the rock crowd was than the country crowd that had been there a few days earlier.

August 18, 1987
August 18, 1997

August 18, 1997. Weird Al Yankcovic. Technically, this shirt is from the previous year, but I can't find the date right now, and he put on the same show both times anyway. The same, great, standing-room-only show. With Helen and Joe.

October 30, 1984. My second KISS concert. With Dad and Bert and various members of my class that I ran into in the crowd. Bon Jovi opened. No one much cared about them at the time. "Slippery When Wet" came out later.

October 30, 1984
1991


July 13, 1991. "Operation Rock and Roll." We were there for Alice Cooper but Judas Priest were there, too. Would've been with Rob Halford. Thanks to Helen for dropping me a line with the details.

Don't remember much about this one either. Was doing a lot of caffeine in those days.

Billy and the Boingers
