Well, both of these acts were "warm up" bands in the 80s. I'm guessing a little as I don't have a Camaro, long hair (well, in back) and an alcohol issue any longer but I've seen both bands at least the indicated times.
Tesla--5 (?)
Poison--4
Ratt--3 (not backup at the time, though
)
....all of those were at the Salt Palace. Never been to a show at the Delta Center/ESA. I wore denim, not spandex like the really cool kids (say maybe BC?).
Favorite concert musically, I went to see Rush this year at USANA and they were EXCELLENT. However, I'm probably not cut out for the concert scene to much any more? To much for a ticket, and I was a little bored after a while (then they broke into Tom Sawyer and it was all OK). I'm a cheap bastid, I guess?
Oh, and Guster..... My youngest sister is into them. I really don't get it, at all. (but then again, look at the above musical "tastes".....)
Bands I didn't get to see that I wanted to:
Van Halen (for real.....one of my favorite bands---both Van Halen and Van Hagar)
KISS----(meh.....probably a good show, but never went)
Rolling Stones (holy expensive ticket batman!)
Paul McCartney (missed that this summer due to having to travel--kind of bummed)
