Lau 💙🤘	I don't remember going to this show, but I have the ticket stub with all my others so I must have. 😂	Foo Fighters / The Rolling Stones	Jul 12, 2024
Bill Wynn	Friends and I went to the Saturday early show but did not have a ticket. We listened to Ten Years After by the exit doors and we snuck in when the ushers opened them. We got to see Alvin play I'm Going Home encore.	Ten Years After / Doug Kershaw / Zypher	Jul 12, 2024

Gbauer10	Sorry for crappy typing,	Rainbow / Randy Hansen's Machine Gun / John Cougar & The Zones	Jul 12, 2024
Gbauer10	It was interesting to see John Cougar and the Zones before he became John Mellencamp. He played his one hit song Jack and Diane and I don’t remember my Cub else except two things. First was that he came out in some sort of hideous white jumpsuit and the second is that that he was BELOW Randy Hanson on the bill, If you don’t know him, Hanson was a Jimi Hendrix imitator without any of his own material.	Rainbow / Randy Hansen's Machine Gun / John Cougar & The Zones	Jul 12, 2024
Gbauer10	Stevie Nicks came out for a song with opener Bob Welch.	The New Barbarians / Bob Welch	Jul 12, 2024
Gbauer10	Van Halen absolutely blew Aerosmith off the stage! The crowd literally had nothing left to give for Aerosmith! Steven Tyler was so pissed that he threw down his microphone at he walked off. If you read Corbin Reiff’s book Lighters in the Sky, he picks this shows as his best show of the year! He details how Van Halen really wanted to use a real tank to squash a yellow VE bug with Aerosmith painted on it? But Aerosmith heard rumors of it s9 it never happen. They just came out and played an absolutely amazing set!	Califfornia World Music Festival (Day 2)	Jul 12, 2024
Bill Wynn	June 2 2017 was the concert date	Jean-Luc Ponty	Jul 12, 2024
Gbauer10	Memorable night! Intense rain and lightning bolts over the Forum. After the show went home, loaded car and took off for Mammoth. Ram Charger with 6 people. Our surf rack with ski’s blew off as soon as we got on 395 so all of our ski’s were inside the car. Did a 450 degree spin went a bit off the road. Hit a patch of black ice halfway there at 70 with cruise control on! Not fun! I’m an experienced snow driver so didn’t panic. After initial spin I Turned into slide and brought the car around 5 times and slowed enough that we barely went off the road. If we had rolled it would have been fatalities for sure! At least my least show would have been a great show by Queen!	Queen	Jul 12, 2024
Keeples	Audio recording I found on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9jpSOiLzqc&t=445s	King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard / Leah Senior	Jul 12, 2024
Gbauer10	The Thin White Duke was phenomenal! Cracked Actor was especially good this Bowie wearing a cape and crown while “talking” to a skull. I was dead center about 5 rows back. Really great set list! There’s a video on YouTube of his next concert in Vancouver.	The Go-Go's / Madness / David Bowie	Jul 12, 2024
Gbauer10	No AC/DC was at Long Beach Arena July 12, 1978. I was there! Great show. First time I ever saw wireless guitar when Angus came out of the back of the arena!	Aerosmith	Jul 12, 2024
Gbauer10	This concert was originally scheduled for earlier in the year. We waited 6 hours in the rain and then they finally rescheduled it. Show was on a be sunny day and was amazing!	Fleetwood Mac / Kenny Loggins	Jul 12, 2024
Gbauer10	I believe a good part of Kiss Alive 2 was (allegedly) recorded on this night. We had fifth row center and front row was really close to stage. Had never heard of Cheap Trick but they blew us away from the opening notes of Hello There! Actually liked them way better than Kiss!	KISS / Cheap Trick	Jul 12, 2024
Scott Crouch	Pantera played after curfew due to unscheduled performance from Eyehategod	White Zombie / Pantera / Deftones	Jul 12, 2024
DontBlameAsh	Surprise Songs: INTHAF x Dorothea Haunted x Exile	Taylor Swift / Paramore	Jul 12, 2024
David Scrivner	Thanks, corrected to August 1983. It was some time ago…	Bucks Fizz	Jul 12, 2024
Jeff Newman	Not sure who can do it, but Sarah Jaffe was the opener. Can she be added?	Metric / Sarah Jaffe	Jul 12, 2024
Jeff Newman	This is incorrect. Tulsa was supposed to be April 22, but there was a scheduling conflict with his concert on the same date at McFarlin Auditorium in Dallas, TX. This needs to be updated to be McFarlin.	Tony Bennett	Jul 12, 2024
