The Show
on Peter Frampton, 1977 Sep 4
Rick Derringer's show was good but short.
J. Geiles was funny.
Kansas played the album 1st song to end.
Frampton sounded just like Frampton Comes Alive!
Great Show.
My 1st Show
on Led Zeppelin, 1977 Jun 3
I was 14 years old. We got there when the gates opened & parties as we watched a storm roll in. I even took a picture of the dark clouds coming. It was hot so we didn't mind the fact that it might rain, never thinking it would cancel the show! We were on the floor and pretty close to the stage. Show started and it started raining. By the 3rd song, it was raining so hard it was hard to see! Band went off stage. Some time passed, and then all Hell broke loose. Fighting every where, we could see people in the stands fighting from our view on the field. We were trying to stay together as a group but it was getting hard because of all the pushing and shoving. A big biker guy (a stranger to me) picked me up and said something on the lines of "get up on my shoulders little lady, where you will be safe!" He carried me on his shoulders as he fought through the crowd to the edge of the field. He put me down in a safe area and told me to get out of there as soon as I could because the fighting was getting really bad and the cops were pouring into the stadium. I ran all the way to get out of the stadium! Led Zeppelin was my favorite band and I was so sad the show stopped but I assumed they would reschedule and all would be fine, NOT. They cancelled and offered refunds on the ticket stub but I chose to keep mine. There was no way I was giving that up! It is quite a memory for my 1st show ever!
Who Else Played?
on Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, 1978 Jul 2

The Florida World Music Festival
on Aerosmith, 1979 Apr 14
Huge Show!
Brownsville Station

You had to get a wristband when you entered because there was a small 'fair' also connected to the show - it was wild!!!!!
Notice: Florida is misspelled!

Good Show!
Went both days.
on The Rolling Stones, 1981 Oct 24
What good shows.
Hated Journey
on Aerosmith, 1983 Apr 23
Bryan Adams was surprisingly good.
Sammy Hagar was smokin'.
Aerosmith had sound problems.
As you can see by my stubs, it rained for Journey which was OK by me, never liked them anyway.
It's funny, they were the headliner but I only wanted to see the other bands.
Good Show
on Def Leppard, 1983 May 22
Krokus opened.
Def Leppard was outstanding.
My 1st Priest Show
on Judas Priest, 1984 Jul 3
They were awesome from the time they hit the stage to the end of the show. Rob in full leather & motorcycle on-stage!!! It was a great night.
Great White was the opening band.
1st time to see Twisted F*****G Sister!
on Twisted Sister, 1984 Oct 19
Y & T opened.
Dokken was next & George Lynch was great.
Twisted Sister as a headline was very good. They are so fun to watch.
Ronnie
on ronnie james dio, 1984 Nov 10
He was a class act for sure and dearly missed!
Yngwie hurt me
on AC/DC, 1985 Nov 5
The entire time Yngwie was on stage, he was fantastic, but...it was too loud for this building and I'm no wimp but my ears ring to this day from his show that night!
AC/DC was great as usual but Angus seemed to be hitting the oxygen more than usual.
Almost died that night.
on Motley Crue, 1985 Dec 20
Not a good show - Not a good night! Who cared about seeing Autograph? I sure didn't! Then Vince came out & said, "It's great to be here in Tampa tonight!" Umm, Dude - your in St. Pete, not Tampa! Then my girlfriend got locked outside the back door of the building & couldn't get back in! Finally, on the way home, Lou Panzer almost killed us all by getting into a wreck (phantom driver - it really wasn't Lou's fault) on top of the Howard Franklin Bridge. Audrey & I want to hospital in Tampa. Ahh, Let The Good Times Roll:-)
Great Blues Music
on Eric Clapton, 1995 Sep 7
I had never heard of Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown before this show. I don't know how old he was at the time of this show (he was old) but he put on a great opening show.
Eric played so well this night. I was really impressed.
Who Opened?
on KISS, 1983 Dec 29
I can't remember. I think it was either Motley Crue OR Pat Traverse Band & Axe. Can anyone remember?
Hot Show
on Rammstein, 2012 Apr 21
All the pyro made this a very hot show and it was fantastic. Everyone in the crowd seemed to know all the words, even though it was in German! They had a gang-plank walk that took them to a 2nd small stage in the middle of the floor. Flake did the boat gimmick too.
