Retired Canadian guy. Trying to be less ignorant. Not always successful.
It wasn't as good as I hoped. It was at a small venue in Detroit (Royal Oak Music Theatre) in 1983. The crowd was somewhat comatose (I believe drugs were involved). Alvin Lee was very good though.

Nice! I'm very jealous that I didn't think of that one.

And here's a better version. Sorry - I seem to have posted a copy with some glitches in my original post: youtu.be/lhPE75Fz2ZE?...

Awesome! This clip is my favourite concert footage of Simple Minds. Makes me wish I had gone to a few more concerts back then!

Thanks. I grew up near Detroit so I heard Bob Seger constantly as a teenager. I appreciate him more since I moved away about 40 years ago. Yikes that's a long time.

Actually it was at Joe Louis Arena. That was a big arena to be sitting in the 3rd row!

No, I didn't. In my head, I didn't see many concerts when I was younger. But I did see some great ones.

No, unfortunately. I went with my goalie to see Yes in concert in Detroit for their 90125 tour (Owner of a Lonely Heart). 3rd row. That was very loud 😀

Thanks! This was my high school soccer goalie's favourite song. He used to blast it from his house so we could hear it across the street at our practice field.

That's awesome. So many great bands that I wish I had seen. 👍

That was great. Never heard it before. I've added it to my favourites. 👍
