This is still 3 years away for TP, but just love how it just expounds on the variability of Petty/Heartbreakers  talents.... Some band have and have not aged well with the test of time.  Tom Petty is like an old fine vintage wine.  Better each listen.

No love for Little Feat?  Am I the only fan here?  Lowell George is da shizzle.



I love the live version of "Dixie Chicken".

April 1982 List

1. Styx- No change
2. Journey (+2)
3. Foreigner- (No change)
4. Neil Young (-2)
5. Rush (+1)
6. Bob Seger (-1)
7. Dire Straits (No change)
8. Led Zeppelin (No change)

10. Boston (No change)

16. Kansas (-3)
17. REO Speedwagon- (-2)
18. Police (No change)
19. Cars (-3)
20. Eagles (-3)

Joan Jett- An alum of the old full girl rock band The Runaways.   Hardest rocking lady of the ladies.  Very straight forward rock and roll, and got some pretty big hits in the early to mid '80's.  Cover of Crimson and Clover, I Love Rock and Roll, and this one.....  She was a sexy rock star, and milked it well on stage.  Too bad she hagged out on us, and became a left wing advocate.  Sheesh, too bad.

And drum roll.....

Concert- April 5, 1982 Rigg and Rush- Price on stub- $10.50.-  This by far was the greatest and most favorite concert event in my entire life.  Show was mesmerizing.  It was surreal seeing such precision, talent, and musicianship in a 2 hour period.  Visuals were so beyond their times, as it was supporting the Moving Pictures tour.  Which critically is considered  among their best.

So hard to explain how great it was.  As I got older, I kept saying I  wanted to attend another Rush concert, but let time get away, and now that will never happen.  Did find the set list, and it as follows.  Also am adding a video/concert of as I remembered them.

2112 Part I: Overture
2112 Part II: The Temples of Syrinx
Freewill
Limelight
Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Part I: Prelude
Beneath, Between & Behind
Subdivisions
The Camera Eye
YYZ
Drum Solo
Broon's Bane
The Trees
The Analog Kid
The Spirit of Radio
Red Barchetta
Closer to the Heart
Tom Sawyer
Vital Signs
Working Man
Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres Part IV: Armageddon
By-Tor & The Snow Dog
In the End
In the Mood
2112 Part VII: Grand Finale
La Villa Strangiato

I saw that same tour.  Riggs and Rush in Jackson, MS around the same time.  They did La Villa Strangiato for their finale.  Had seen the Rolling Stones in the Superdome a couple of months prior.  And yes, that Rush concert was one of the best ever.

From what I am seeing in the Concert database, your concert was 3 days before mine......

May 1982 List

1. Styx (No change)
2. Journey (No change)
3. Neil Young (+1)
4. Foreigner (-1)
5. Rush (No change)
6. Bob Seger (No change)
7. Dire Straits (No change)
8. Christopher Cross (+3)
9. Led Zeppelin (-1)
10. Boston (No change)
11. Asia (New)
12. Jefferson Starship (-3)

15. Police (+3)
16. Pat Benetar (-2)
17. Kansas (-1)
18 Joan Jett (-3)
19. REO Speedwagon (-2)
20. Cars (-1)

Asia- . Heat of the Moment is an epic song by this Prog Supergroup formed from the ashes of Yes, ELP. and King Crimson.  In theory, you would think this was the ultimate prog group.  And I do grant, that a few of their songs are pretty damned good.  But as a Band, they exploded at the onset, and then fizzled almost as fast afterwards  This seemed like more forced corporate record company formula and product, than sweat equity and heart.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvdYll1euGU

Concert- May 31, 1982,  UFO, Grand Funk Railroad, and Jim Dandy- Price on stub- $8.50

After being spoiled a month earlier, this next endeavor was not good at all.  On the surface, you would have thought this would be a great concert.....   but as far as I was concerned, the band that headlined, should have been the opener.

For starts, UFO came out for good short set....  played their known hits....   Over.

Secondly, the main reason I wanted to come to this thing is to see Grand Funk, who as far as I was concerned were legends of early U.S Hard Rock.  Set was freakin' 3 songs!!!!!!!!  I was glad one was I'm Your Captain, but geez... 

Then Jim Dandy and Ruby (minus Black Oak) comes out and growls through an hour and a half of distortion, and crotch rubbing. Ugh...     Left before encore, to give you an idea of what I thought of this debacle

June 1982 List

1. Styx (No change)
2. Journey (No change)
3. Neil Young (No change)
4. Foreigner (No change)
5. Bob Seger (+1)
6. Rush (-1)
7. Christopher Cross (+1)
8. Dire Straits (-1)
9. Led Zeppelin (No change)
10. Boston (No change)
11. Jefferson Starship (-1)
12. Asia (-1)
13. Kansas (+4)
14. Fleetwood Mac (-1)
15. Pat Benetar (-1)
16. AC DC (-2)
17. Police (-2)
18. Sammy Hagar (New)
19. Cars (+1)
20. REO Speedwagon (-1)

Sammy Hagar-.   The Red Rocker's career is basically sliced into thirds.  1st he was the grit behind Montrose, and really help make that band into a '70's staple. Secondly, he had successful solo career, for which I feel embodies his best work. And last he and what he is most known for is the singer of Van Halen.  Also part of the most argued points  of debae in rock history.  Roth or Hagar!!!!!.  I was always disappointed EVH didn't utilize Sammy's awesome Ax skills into some of Van Halen's act.  Can you imagine how some tradional mid '70's like guitar dueling would have sounded?  Prob the best since Clapton/Allman. My theory was EVH's ego often got into the way of the band's direction.  But this is about Hagar, and his contributions can't be overlooked.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KMLLZF2qI0

Concert- Texas World Music Festival '82- June 13, 1982---  Point Blank, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Sammy Hagar, Santana, Journey- Price on stub- $18.50-

This was my first and last foray into all day music venues. I think you all know how much I enjoy music, and concerts, but watching for 12 hours wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.  First the negative,  and most of all....   The Astrodome really sucks as a music venue.  Echos, distortion, and virbrating rafters are not conducive to a good concert experience.  Then add the fact I had a girl friend who could consume a lot of beer in 12 hours.  Had to deal with that distraction too.  But yeah, it was worth it, seeing this caliber and volume of great acts. 

Every act was really good.  and I guessing there was probably 50,000 people there. 

And to cap it all off, I asked the girlfriend to put our parking lot number location in her purse, and somehow that got lost during the day. We didn't get on I-610 until 2:30 in the morning.  Man, I should have went by myself.   :cool:

2. Journey (No change)
3. Neil Young (No change)

17. Kansas (-3)
18. Pat Benetar (-2)
19. Heart (-4)
20. Cars (-1)

April Wine- Easy a top 10 of all time Canadian Band, who got a lot of success in Canada in the mid '70's. but didn't catch on over here until the early '80's.  They like so many other bands fell off the cliff in the U.S., after hitting the top.  But those loyal Canadians kept on, keeping on, and these guys far as Canada were still making hits even into the early '90's.  My biggest gripe?  Like some others, I really cringe when I see bands that have as many compliation albums (15) as they do studio albums (16).  What I call the Creedence Syndrome. Milk it bubba.

Here is the one, most of you most probably remember.....

Nova was a fantasticly speedy ax, who in the day was quite heralded. Sadly he  has faded over time, and now is almost forgotten.

For years, I had thought Buck Dharma was doing the shredding in one my favorie BOC Songs "Take Me Away". Come to find out Aldo Nova was the master of this solo.  Pan to about 2:50 of this video for an idea.  Got to hand to them, this video is seriously creepy.

Dharma, Bloom, and Nova all playing at once.  That's pretty big.

Concert- September 20, 1982- Toronto and Nazareth Cost on stub $10.00- Enjoyable show that from what I remember was relatively lightly attended.  Nazareth was pretty much in decline. 7 years removed from Hair of the Dog.

Toronto-   Hate to keep infusing sex into a classic rock discussion, but my most striking memory of them was that the two front ladies were in skin tight black leather outfits that were  getting pretty sweaty.  This  in a venue on a late summer like evening in Texas.  I'll just leave it at that.   I do remember they did play their one hit.  And it was pretty good.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr4YjXQNYgI&list=RDvr4YjXQNYgI&start_radio=1

Nazareth- . I remember mostly they played the catalog of well known stuff, which was great.  Looked it up, and I noticed the album that this tour was supporting never even made it into the top 100.  Probably why they shied away from new stuff.

Know it's been added once, but here is another live version of their signature song......

2. Jurney (No change)

17. AC DC (-1)
18. Pat Benetar (-1)
19. April Wine (-1)
20. Sammy Hagar (No change)

This one's dedicated to all the other musicians out there who understand and appreciate the level of complexity and difficulty in both the songwriting and performance of this great tune.  I uusally lose count at 12 key changes, and 15 time changes.  The way the guys weave in and out with Alex' screeching lead, with the bass line, and insane variable syncopative  percussion?  A masterpiece.  It seems this number would be super difficult to pull off live, but they did it during the '83 and '84 touring. (see below)  Just wish there was an acutal  live video of it being done.

Kid Gloves strangely gets overlooked in the catalog.  To me, it's easy in their 10-15 best.

December 1982 List

1. Styx (No change)
2. Neil Young (+1)
3. Journey (-1)
4. Foreigner (No change)
5. Kansas (+1)
6. Police (-1)
7. Led Zeppelin (+4)

16. Dire Straits (-2)
17. Jefferson Starship (-1)
18. Men at Work (New)
19. Sammy Hagar (+1)
20. AC DC (-3)

Men at Work- . Aussie band with short term success with the one album that had a couple of big catchy hits that were pushed by MTV heavy rotation.  How else would we know what a Vegimite Sandwich was?  2nd and 3rd albums sucked, and these guys faded into oblivion.

If you are over 50, and don't remember this...  Check the rock you were hiding under for over insulation.

Concert- Billy Squier and The Who- December 3, 1982.  Cost on stub- $18.50

Billy Squier- Remember it being maybe a half an hour set, but got to hear "The Stroke".  Big and cool enough to make the soundtrack of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.  Great opening.

The Who- There aren't many legends out there bigger than The Who.  Even today, The Who along with Rush and few other bands, are my most listened to acts. From near beginning of the British Invasion, to Woodstock, to 1st Two Rock Operas, and beyond......   To give you an idea, I think I have somewhere between 30-40 of their tunes on my Ipod.  Seeing true music legends was a great treat.  As I mentioned before the Astrodome was not the best of venues due to distortion, but I didn't care.....   This was The f--king Who.

For sample?  How about the entire concert?  Sound on YT video is poor, but this is what I heard......

January 1983 List

1. Styx (No change)
2. Neil Young (No change)
3. Journey (No change)
4. Kansas (+1)
5. Foreigner (-1)
6. Loverboy (New)
7. Police (-1)
8. Led Zeppelin (-1)
9. Rush (-1)
10. Pat Benetar (+3)

15. Jefferson Starship (+2)
16. Christopher Cross (-1)
17. Dire Straits (-1)
18. Cars (-4)
19. Men at Work (-1)
20. Go Go's (New)

Loverboy- . Another good band from Canada, and it seems like the early '80's were the Canuck hay day. April Wine, among others.   Hard rock with great hooks and best played loud.  According to wiki, they charted 12 singles in the U.S. in the Top 40 in 6 years and 4 albums.   Not too shabby if you ask me.

Lots to choose from, I'll pick this one


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uquv6qTPOBw

The Go Go's-. A lot of people thought the Go Go's were a gimmick band.  No all girl band had really been taken seriously since the Runaways.  But honestly, they weren't that bad.  Carlisle had a great voice, and she ended up with the most success with a solo career.

I know the songwriting was a tad weak, but they put together a few good songs that got a whole lot of air play.  They had a new wave tint, at the time the style was starting to wane.  They only made 3 albums, so I was really pissed that they were inducted in the HOF in '21, when so many older greater more epic and prolific bands have been overlooked.  It was definitley a bull shit "woke" induction.

For a sample, I'll go with the biggest hit on their second album........  Wanna a clue of how near amateur some of their members were?  When a rock drummer  has to count candence on fills, you get the picture.

Kind of shaded from view/listen  considering Red Sector A, Analog Kid, and Distant Early Warning are on the same album. We'll have to do a Rush Sleeper Post at some point. So much of their catalog would be hits for other bands, but get missed with Rush.
