I wanna say it was 1980 and the band was called Free Fare...they were playing my local High School *I was in 8th Grade* and me and a couple of buddies went on a Friday night. It was surreal to me....as I had never experienced anything like it before!

 

The band was Christian...as I can remember *not sure*...but that didn't affect anyone as the music was cool and no one seemed to care either way!!!

 

After that...my first concert...with a mainstream band would have been Bon Jovi who opened up for Donnie Iris back in Youngstown, Ohio. It was also around the time I went to see U2 with Lone Justice opening up......and I'm not sure which of those two was actually first!! It was so long ago that I'm not really sure!! LOL

It was the day before my 14th birthday - I remember walking into the hall, and being confronted with the huge 'Eagle' backdrop. Still one of the best gigs I have ever been to even to this day. I think the support band were Lautrec (Pre Stampede)

Back in the 70's and early 80's (probably before many of you were even born...LOL!!) I was working on a special detail for the police department here. One of our assignments (yeah...we got paid for this) was to work the Mississippi River Festival each year on the campus of Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville, IL. During the months of June-July_August each year there were concerts 3 or 4 times each week. They ranged from Jazz, Rock and pop music and of course, we were right in the middle of all of them. I saw so many great bands over those years, it's hard to name them all, but just a sampling........The Who, Doobie Brothers, Heart, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Fleetwood Mac, Guess Who, Jefferson Starship and many many more........

Mine was Bon Jovi/Cinderella in February 1987 at Kemper Arena in Kansas City on their Slippery When Wet tour. I believe Livin' On A Prayer was the #1 song in the country then. I was one of the only people in my little podunk town to get tickets so I instantly had a bunch of friends I didn't have before. I almost went to see Bon Jovi about 7-8 months earlier (if memory servers) opening up for 38 Special, but I ended up not going to that one but can't remember why now? That was the last time they opened up for anyone.

 

It WOULD have been Billy Squier (with Ratt opening up) several years earlier by my parents wouldn't let me go.

Did anyone else go to the Van Halen Monsters Of Rock tour (with Scorps, Dokken, Metallica & Kingdom Come). That was one of my favorite shows I've ever seen. I believe it was the summer of 1988. I swear most of the people were there to see Metallica, it was right before And Justice For All came out and they were just hitting it really big. I believe they even won the Circus magazine poll for album of the year for Master Of Puppets a year earlier, which was really strange since they were considered more of a thrash band and Circus covered mainly hard rock and hair metal bands at that time.

Yup, I was there (Giants Stadium, June of '88) and I was one of those who was basically there to see Metallica. Dokken and the Scorps were cool too, though. Kingdom Come got boo'ed off the stage (and rightfully so) and we split before Van Halen came on.

 

"Justice" didn't come out till after the tour was over so when they played the one new song "Harvester of Sorrow," I thought it was called "Harvester of Souls" till the album came out and I saw the title on the back of the cassette. :lol:

1985 - Asylum tour for KISS...don't remember the opener & really, who cares :)

 

 

I saw them on that tour as well. Black 'n Blue opened for them in NC. My first show was actually Kiss in '77 at the age of 7. Still have the ticket stubs.

I believe my first was Sunfest. I remember DcTalk, Petra, and Whiteheart being there. I think I was 6 or 7. All I remember was loving those three bands.

      Voodoo Angel - Moulin Rouge

      By Stefan · Posted

      From Lions Pride Music: Voodoo Angel ANNOUNCES THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF THEIR SECOND ALBUM, #MOULINROUGE UNDER Lions Pride Music - OUT NOVEMBER 29, 2024. Band: Voodoo Angel Album: Moulin Rouge Label: Lions Pride Music Catalogue Number: LPM089 Release Date: November 29, 2024   The wait is over. Voodoo Angel, the electrifying sleaze-metal phenomenon, is set to release their second studio album, Moulin Rouge, on November 29, 2024, under the esteemed Lions Pride Music label. Following the success of their 2022 debut, First Spell, the band is poised to deliver another hard-hitting collection of tracks that are unapologetically loud, thrilling, and unforgettable. Moulin Rouge is a testament to Voodoo Angel's relentless energy and unique sound—a fusion of sleaze, metal, and pure rock that has captivated audiences worldwide. The album features ten explosive tracks, including the anthemic opener "We're Still Alive," the poignant "When Life Passes You By," and the gritty "Daddy's Back To The Madam." Fans can expect the same raw power and intensity that made Voodoo Angel a global sensation. Tracklist: 01. We're Still Alive 02. When Life Passes You By 03. Broken 04. It's Gonna Hurt 05. Daddy's Back To The Madam 06. I Won't Stand In Line 07. More 08. Sin City 09. Come & Get It 10. So Pretty   Voodoo Angel's rise to fame is nothing short of legendary. From their beer-fueled beginnings to their viral sleaze-metal renditions of pop classics like "Billie Jean" and INXS's "Devil Inside," the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of rock music. Their original compositions, such as "Wake Me When It's Done," have further solidified their place in the rock pantheon, amassing fans from Europe to Australia. The band's lineup, featuring Jean-Luc Rumèbe (Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys), Jim Red (Bass guitar & Backing vocals), Christophe Mouynet (Lead Guitars & Backing vocals), and Thomas Feuga (Drums & Backing vocals), is a powerhouse of talent and chemistry. Together, they have crafted Moulin Rouge, an album that not only meets but exceeds the high expectations set by their debut. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc Rumèbe at JLR Studio Productions in France, Moulin Rouge is a sonic masterpiece. Rumèbe, who also composed, wrote, and arranged the album, brings his signature style to every track, ensuring that each song is a testament to Voodoo Angel's raw, unfiltered power. Fans can catch a glimpse of what's to come with the album sampler and artwork, both of which reflect the band’s distinctive aesthetic. Additionally, the track "So Pretty" features special guest backing vocals by Ricky Kearns, adding another layer of depth to the album. As Voodoo Angel prepares to unleash Moulin Rouge upon the world, one thing is certain: this band is here to stay. With a global deal with Lions Pride Music and a second album that is destined to become a modern rock classic, Voodoo Angel is set to electrify the world once again. Voodoo Angel is: Jean-Luc Rumèbe : Lead Vocals, Keytar, Piano, Guitars & Keys Jim Red : Bass guitar & Backing vocals Christophe Mouynet : Lead Guitars & Backing vocals Thomas Feuga : Drums & Backing vocals Additional Backing Vocals on „So Pretty“ by Ricky Kearns

      Ah, the old record label make a quick buck off bands they dropped years ago sets where they are just bare bones albums with no bonus material. I thought maybe I missed box sets with bonus stuff. But once again, still reasonably priced.

      Guns N Roses - Appetite for destruction super deluxe reissue?

      By heavyharmonies · Posted

      Dredging this up again, as you can now find this set new for about $50-60 shipped on eBay. I just finally bought it to get the 5.1 channel blu-ray version of the album. $179 for the set? No fucking way. But $50? Ehh, ok. more reasonable IMO.
