 Lance Binkley Last concert: June 28, 1979 Lisner Auditorium, Washington DC. He died early the next day in his motel room with his wife. Verify on his Wikipedia page (and I attended the concert). Lowell George Jun 30, 2022

 Michael Camacho Best show I've been to in a long time. LA Guns was on point. And Taime Downe sounded real good. I don't remember the set list order but, for some reason they always (who ever does the set lists) skips "Give Me More Reason".. and it DEFINITELY was played.. L.A. Guns / Faster Pussycat Jun 30, 2022
 Michael Camacho First Concert @ 13 y/o. Went with my neighbor Jim. Bruce Dickinson stopped a song to complain about an audience member throwing an "egg" at him. He invited the guy who threw the egg up on stage or that him "and the boys" could jump down there & kick his ass instead and then finally moved on & continued playing... I just always wondered, who brings eggs to a concert?? Iron Maiden / Waysted Jun 30, 2022
 Neil Sutcliffe Original date postponed on day of gig. Joanne Shaw Taylor / Aaron Keylock Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO My second Van Halen show. They were now headling the big arenas and had a huge stageshow to match. Van Halen always, for me, had the loudest and most rowdy crowds of all the shows I attended through the years. Eddie was pure magic on guitar, always the highlight of any Van Halen show. David Lee Roth was now more interested in being the head entertainer then singing the songs. But that what you got at a Halen show and no one complained. Bombastic and high energy show. Openers Black Cats only made it through a couple of songs before being booed off and pelted by thrown stuff. As I said elsewhere, Phoenix had a great rep for being tough on opening acts. Van Halen / Black Cats Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO My second Rush show. New background films accompanying the lighting effects, although Rush's musicanship was always the real highlight of their shows along with the visuals. Fellow Canadians Max Webster opened, got a good reception, even though they were not as well known here as in their homeland. Rush / Max Webster Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO REO was riding high on their first number #1 album "High Infidelity". The crowd was pumped, as REO were always a favorite live show to attend in these parts, now they had a huge album to boot. Great show, Gary Richrath killer as always on guitar. A surprise fireworks display accompanied the usual flashpots on stage during the finale of "Ridin The Storm Out". Great show. REO Speedwagon / 707 Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO My First Priest show, and I think their first real U.S. headling tour. Iron Maiden opened, with Paul DiAnno still on vocals. They went down well although not well known even to this Priest crowd. Steve Marriott's Humble Pie opened, giving a rousing performance, although alot of the crowd was too young to know their songs as much. Priest was great, with a cool looking all yellow and red themed stage. I remember during the middle slow section of "Victim Of Changes" as smoke covered the stage from above and below and the lighting rig slowly descended in vibrant colors, it still sticks in my mind today. Really cool effect. Of course Rob rode the Harley out for "Hell Bent For Leather" and it all ended with great pyro. Wonderful show. Judas Priest / Humble Pie / Iron Maiden Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO Great to see an actual British Invasion band. The Davies's brothers were great. The Kinks / Ramones Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO Great double bill. BOC still is one of my all time favorite bands, During Godzilla behind the stage was a huge smoke belching Godzilla himself. BOC always had killer lighting and pyro. Buck Dharma tore it up on guitar, a highlight his solo during "Veteran of the Psychic Wars". Foghat was great, all white stage, amps, drums as I recall. Of course ended with "Slow Ride". Blue Öyster Cult / Foghat Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO Typical Van Halen show, including the opening act being booed off early in their set. The highlight, as always Eddie's solo spot. Roth was Roth. Van Halen / Enemy Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO Went with a group of friends. Boring show. Oh, I do remember the then unknown Bryan Adams was nearly booed off the stage but made it through. Phoenix had a well deserved rep as being tough on opening acts. Foreigner / Bryan Adams Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO Good triple bill. My main memory was Triumph went overboard with all their pyro! Triumph / Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush / Riot Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO I loved the Bon Scott years and I never liked Brian Johnsons voice, personal taste. But I had to see Angus and the boys at least once live. They skiped the phoenix area during their "Back In Black tour the year before so we were are primed to see them. At this point they were the biggest band in the world(popularity wise) and I never experienced such a high level of excitement and anticipation from a crowd except for my first Van Halen show back in '79. Also, for an outdoor show, one of the loudest too. From the first sight of Angus, to the finale, they could do no wrong. One of the highest energy shows I ever saw. As we filed out a huge burning AC/DC sign was lighting up the sky on a nearby hill. AC/DC / Midnight Flyer Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO Second time seeing the Ronnie James Dio fronted Sabbath. Dio's vocals were superb. I remember alot of lighting crosses being used to good eerie effect. The Outlaws were fantastic. Their version of "Ghost Riders" was getting heavy play, and of course they ended with their epic guitar jam "Green Grass And High Tides". Black Sabbath / Outlaws Jun 30, 2022
 CAPO First time seeing Genesis. Great show, wonderful stage lighting. Phil Collins was an engaging and funny frontman. A highlight was when he and touring drummer Chester Thompson had a dueling drum solo contest. Great show. Genesis Jun 30, 2022
