I love those old club tunes.

I love those old club tunes.

That was a popular one.

I actually went to that Van Halen concert. My Stepmother worked for a DC lawyer and he gave us sky suite tickets. What a show! One of my first concerts.

Mine too. I ended up going with my dad (freshman in HS). He asked where my weed was.

It just hit me that they played two shows. The 25th and 26th. This thread brought back a lot of high school memories.
Somehow I managed to escape or possibly blocked out most of the horrible music being posted.

I went through it all in HS.
Freshman year - Heavy Metal/Hair bands
Sophomore year - Hardcore punk/rap
Junior year - more punk and speed metal
Senior - punk / "new wave" and classic rock

Jeezus, I should have been on meds.

Senior - Jam Bands, metal and classic rock.

Mine.

As open to music that I was, wave and early blues just didn't do it for me.
I've since come to love the early blues more than all of it combined.

I was at the mercy of older people for music during my childhood...mom, dad, babysitters, aunts, uncles, cousins. Fortunately, there was a wide range of music being played from folk, classical, british invasion (the early and the late years), rock, teen angst (didn't know that was a genre, did you?), jazz, big band and swing, the crooners...I listened to it all. I was 13 when Woodstock went down, but no way were my parents letting me travel halfway across country to go experience it! Probably for the best, but I was pretty sore at them for the entire summer.

Okay, so maybe the '80s didn't completely suck.

Divinyls, "Boy in Town."

I saw Styx in 83? for the Kilroy was here Tour
Concert opened with a 10 min movie

Paid a buck to see Styx at the University of Wis. Whitewater circa 1974. The college had booked "The Association" for homecoming and as a protest to such a crappy band, a student who'd gone to high school with one of the guys in Styx in Chicago got them to play off campus at a municipal hall. So we all sat around on the floor, listening to Styx. It was probably as well attended as the school sanctioned entertainment. For myself, I was never much of a Styx fan - but they were hella better than The Association.
