First ever concert was Ronnie Milsap at Worlds of Fun somewhere in the late 70s. First arena show was the BeeGees at Hilton in 1979 (mom took me for some reason). I've never been to a stadium concert.
I did see them again up at Hilton maybe 10-15 years ago? It was OK but they just need to call it a career. Still like VH music but the band has become a caricature of themselves over the years.
Def Leppard Hysteria Tour at the Five Seasons Center in Cedar Rapids in 1987. I loved it then. I don't even know if they're still making new music. I assume they aren't.
I saw them again in the early 00s at the Mississippi Valley Fair. They had lost a step, for sure.
DotFest 3 at the Ankeny Airfield in 1999. The only acts I remember seeing are 2 Skinnee Js, the Atomic Fireballs, and Smashmouth. I know Run DMC performed but by then my group had left. Not proud of that. At the time I just wasn't much of a hip hop guy.
It doesn't help that Dave is still snorting coke like a 20 year-old. If they ever bring back Sammy, they'd put on a good show again. Love me some classic Van Halen, but Sammy has his $h1t together. Saw Sammy a couple years ago playing with "The Circle" down in Burlington. Great show.
I went to a DotFest. Can't remember which one but The Urge was the closer. They were awesome.
Worst part of it was Marcy Playground. They were popular with their one song "Sex and Candy". Their set was, "Sex and Candy", a few other unrecognizable songs, and then "Sex and Candy" AGAIN!
I think that was '98. I remember hearing about the show but not being able to find someone with a car who wanted to go.

Please tell me they didn't play the same song twice. I refuse to believe it. That's lame as hell.I went to a DotFest. Can't remember which one but The Urge was the closer. They were awesome.

KISS Asylum tou
Sammy and Michael Anthony are probably the only guys associated with that group who are worth seeing, in my opinion.
I love the DLR VH stuff, but Dave has a big ego. Same with Eddie. Those two destroyed that band.
I thought it was an arm?
