2/18/1992 - Rush: Roll the Bones Tour

Every two years Rush came to town like clockwork.  You knew to when to expect them and, by golly, you did NOT miss.  I am fuzzy on the details on this one.  This was the fourth consecutive Rush concert I had attended which, I realize, is nothing in terms of begin a Rush fan.  But it is also true that they all start blending together after a while.

10/15/1991 - George Michael: Cover to Cover Tour

What the heck, I went to a George Michael concert?  How in the world did I forget this?  This was about 10 months after I got married - I had no idea what I was doing back then (still not too sure).  I can safely say that this one is lost to the ages but I can also say that I wish I had paid closer attention.  At that time I was still too fragile of a music fan to ever admit I liked anyone like George Michael.  I was pretty insufferable about my tastes and preferences and often made the mistake of finding it necessary to tear other bands down to build up the bands I liked.  I am sure this was a great show with the fantastic Michael vocals you would expect.

2/26/1990 - Rush: Presto Tour

Yet another Rush concert.  Nothing stands out about Presto that I can recall.  I wonder who I went to this show with because this was long enough after high school that I was not running with the old concert crowd (Chuck, Fred, Mike, etc).  Must have gone with some guys at work.

10/26/1988 - Scorpions: Savage Amusement Tour

Geez, a year and a half out of school and I was attending a Scorpions concert. What the heck was I thinking?  Savage Amusement marked the beginning of the decline for the Scorpions.  Another one that I am not sure who I went with but it must have been Mike.  IIRC it was a decent show.

1988/02/19 - Yes - Big Generator Tour

I did not recall going to this one.  I can't recall much about it but I do have some thoughts on the Talk Tour from 1994.

1/29/1988 - Rush: Hold Your Fire Tour

I recall thinking that the concert came off as formulaic and "Business-like".  They did the set, they walked off, waited about 20 seconds and came back out an did an encore, walked off again and the lights immediately turned on.  "We're done here guys, go home."

11/18/1987 - Pink Floyd: Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour

This was the first and only concert that I got high at.  I went with a friend from work - can't recall his name.  We sat in the lower mezzanine at the back toward the top - center stage.  I remember the sound was terrible - almost unlistenable.  I wonder if I would have made it through the show had I NOT been stoned.  I remember some 15-16 year old kids sitting down the row from us that were pretty excited that we fired up a joint when the lights went down.  Based on their excited chatter after discovering our activity - they thought their assumption that they would be in the proximity of such action should they attend a Pink Floyd concert and their actual proximity to the action manifest made them cool.  Which is ironic when you consider that this was not one of the finer moments in my life.
