In about '84, Black 'n' Blue opened for Night Ranger at the Schnitzer in Portland, OR. Night Ranger had a new sound system that was just way too [bleep]in' powerful for the size of the venue and the air seemed to be literally tearing from the sound. My ears rang for at least 4 days. Figured out why my friends had long hair .. they could hide ear plugs under it. smile

I missed an even better first concert. In ... '77, I think, the Oregon State Fair had Loverboy, Blue Oyster Cult, Molly Hatchet, and a couple other acts I really liked. I was 13. My cuz and one of her really cute friends had tickets for me but my folks wouldn't give me a ride to the bus station so I could make the trip. They didn't like her friend much. I dunno what their problem was, she looked damn good to me. Parents, huh? Can't live with 'em, not supposed to drown 'em.
