    You youthful basturds..
    I was already seeing Cheap Trick in concert when they came out with Heaven Tonight. Brilliant record. Rick is in my top four or five guitar players list...
    Unfortunately so is Mick Ronson and I had to offer a Bowie vote to the rock heavens today..

    Zeppelin in '75 on the Physical Graffiti tour
    Sabbath in '75 on the Sabotage tour
    KISS in '77 on the Love Gun tour
    Aerosmith in '76 on the Rocks tour
    AC/DC in '79 on Highway To Hell tour
    Van Halen in '79 touring Van Halen II
    Judas Priest in '79 touring Hell Bent For Leather
    Skynyrd in 75 on the Nuthin Fancy tour
    Bob Seger in '76 on Night Moves tour
    ELO in '77 on the Out Of The Blue tour

    I know a couple of major Cheap Trick fans and I honestly do not get the appeal. I've never heard anything since "Dream Police" that caught my ear, and why tf did they release that stupid Elvis cover? When that hit the airwaves my first thought was "wow, they're tapped out already??.."

    Honestly, Dream Police was their farewell to great records for me..
    Everything thru that one and especially the first record is gold..

    Of these most all were too early for me to access as a kid though I did see Van Halen on that tour and the tour before opening for Sabbath. Saw AC/DC Back in Black. Earliest JP tour was Screaming for Vengeance.
    Shows that came to our dink town at the Auditorium were all ages - but most shows went south to the Hollywood Sportatorium and you needed a ride from where I lived and for the most part, mom wasn't down with letting me run off 45 miles with a bunch of drinking and puffing long hairs..
