Funny I was at the same show I think...I saw Judas priest a bunch of times. I don't remember great white's performance, my ex-wife loved them though...they were one of those bands I just couldn't get into. like Faster Pussycat!
My first show was Ace frehley and Alice Cooper but Faster Pussycat opened...I didn't bother showing up for them, I was told they were boo'ed off stage.
I've had some weird show experiences...this one was a crazy experience, I was 17, it was my first time that far away from home alone (like 6-7 hours) we decided to take a hotel room up in troy NY where the show was and drive home in the morning.
So, Three of us crashed in this little shitty motel, and in the morning we were woke up by sirens and the smell of fire...The building was on fire! burned down to the ground except the row we were in, and the stupid fuckiers thought nobody was in those rooms so they were shocked when we came running out...
Apparently they were used to filling single rooms for 3 hours (yes it was that quality of a motel) so the double rooms were usually not occupied. Pretty fucked up!
