Did you ever see these in concert?

[Faron]

Scorpions with Ulrich Roth No, I missed seein' him w/ the Scorp's by a few months, did see the Scorp's on their first US tour w/ Mathias, tho! DAMN GOOD!

 

UFO with Schenker (Pre 1978) Yes! & just a few months later he was gone to go solo. Helluva show....one I won't forget....in many ways....more so cuz of one wicked sunburn!

 

Led Zeppelin Nope.

 

Rush - Pre Permanent Waves No, but how 'bout on the Permanent Waves tour itsself.....does that count for somethin'?

 

Blackfoot Pre 1983 Yes! When they opened for the newly reformed Who way back in '80.

 

Reo Speedwagon with Gary Richrath YES! One extremely great, memorable & vivid show, Gary Richrath was a huge part of the success of that band, & imho, was underrated by quite a lot of folks for many years until the commerical releases of the early/mid 80's material.

(Molly Hatchet w/ the original members were the openin' act, too)

 

Styx with Dennis DeYoung No, came close a couple of times.

 

Night Ranger Pre 1988 No.

 

Toronto (Big Ask) No.

 

Wrabit (Big Ask) No.

 

AC/DC with Bon Scott No.

 

Black Sabbath with OZZY (Pre 1980) Yes! More then once, as well! First time, overall, was much better than the second. Also saw 'em a few years later w/o Ozzy, too.

 

Survivor Pre 1988 No.

 

Iron Maiden with Paul Dianno No.

 

Journey with Steve Perry (Missed this one off) No.

 

& a couple more of note.......

 

Foreigner '78 with the original band. Double Vision tour.....exceptional & was super!

 

38 Special 'Wild-Eyed & Live' tour.....in a small venue that really was great for experiencin' 'em live! The place was packed, ROCKED & was phenomenal.......reminded me of a old juke joint enviroment. One of the best twin lead guitarist bands I've had the great pleasure to see & experience in person. (they also had two drummers & back-up singers, too)

 

I`m well impressed mate, especially with the additions of Foreigner and 38 Special

I saw TORANTO open for someone in the 80s, I'd have to dig out my stubs.

 

I remember when Dianno MAIDEN came, but I was a touch too young to go. I did make it to Number of the Beast, and most MAIDEN tours since.

 

I could have seen orig STYX, JOURNEY, & NIGHT RANGER but my taste at the time was a little heavier, so I skipped them.

 

Seen most of the other groups, but later, or not within the parameters of the OP's post.

 

 

Couple other older tours I am proud to have seen are ALDO NOVA-ALDO NOVA, ROSE TATTOO- SCARRED FOR LIFE, THE WHO- ITS HARD, SCORPIONS- BLACKOUT, RATT- RATT, JETHRO TULL- BROADSWORD, GIRLSCHOOL- BLUE MURDER, KROKUS- NO VICE & HEADHUNTER...

 

Very nice Herb, let us know more about the Toronto if you find your ticket stub!
