wierd concert pairings

[3-LockBox]

I was going to post about this show, but I didn't.. now that you brought it up.. the weirdest thing about this one was that Metallica played before Dokken. My how their paths diverged after this event. Even the Scorpions now are hardly relevant. Some might argue that Metallica isn't relevant either, but at least they're able to pay their new bass player $1,000,000 up front.. hardly seems justifiable that they're worried about downloading...Hard to believe that was 18 years ago!

I forgot about Dokken! For some reason, I don't have a clear memory of when they played. I saw Dokken w/ Judas Priest in '86 (Turbo Tour); then I saw them w/ Aerosmith (Permanent Vacation Tour) several months later. They actually toured with a lot of groups in and around Seattle and the west coast back in the '80s, always the warm-up act. But yeah, they were the proto-typical '80s metal band. I really liked them when they first came out, but made the mistake of watching a behind-the-scenes fanboy documentary about 'the band', and they all came acrossed as 16 yr old airheads. I could never listen to 'em the same way after that.

I saw all these back in the 70's

Donovan opening for YES

Or how about a triple bill os Kiss (opening act), Camel and Wishbone Ash?

Or how about Slade opening for Ten years After?

I went to see Mahogany Rush and Triumvirat was supposed to open, but they canceled

Donovan opening for YES

Actually, I can see that, lyrically speaking

Or how about a triple bill os Kiss (opening act), Camel and
Wishbone Ash?

I think this one takes the prize so far...what on earth did Camel fans think of KISS back then? I'll bet they were thinking, "Man, I knew I shouldn't have taken that last hit of acid".

yeah, I was not really into kiss, but the coolest thing was that there were some kiss fans in the second row that left after kiss played and we moved into their seats for camel & wishbone ash... rmember back then you already had alice cooper, so kiss just seemed gimmicky, although I did (only) like their first album...
