1985 - It begins

7/14/1985 - Crosby, Stills and Nash - Southern Star Amphitheater, Houston Texas
First concert I ever went to unless you count the Smother's Brothers show that my parents took us to when we lived in Pennsylvania.  It was either them or the Doobie Brothers.  Anyway, I remember sitting there at this concert and thinking, "Oh wow ... they do THIS song." over and over again.  I am a sucker for melody and harmonies.


8/30/1985 - The Grateful Dead - Southern Star Amphitheater, Houston Texas - Unused Ticket
Something happened on this one and I was unable to go.  It was either weather or some other problem.  I thought I recall hearing that a shooting happened before this concert.  Some kid got
shot going into the show or something.  I never did see the Grateful Dead.



9/20.1985 - Neil Young 1985 Tour of North America with The International Harvesters - Southern Star Amphitheater, Houston Texas
I forgot that I had seen so many concerts at the SSA.  I do not recall much about this one.


11/9/1985 -  Brother, Where You Bound? Tour: Supertramp - The Summit, Houston Texas
Very cool concert as I recall.  The lack of Hodgson was sad but did not have the impact I feared it might.  This was another show where I sat there thinking, "I didn't know they did this song too!  I've been a Supertramp fan for years and never even knew it."
