@BuddyGoldenDog @deesnider I see people say this a lot (not the November Rain part, that’s insane) but I’m never clear exactly what songs they consider filler.



#SawItLive 1️⃣1️⃣: A festival you attended Monsters of Rock tour at the Pontiac Silverdome. June 18, 1988 Featuring in order of appearance: Kingdom Come Metallica Dokken Scorpions Van Halen Scorpions - “No One Like You”: youtu.be/6VwbyBGbqPY?si… All the bands were good, but Scorpions had the best sound, by far. It was REALLY hot that day. The sun was shining right down through the roof. It was rather uncomfortable in there. (SWEATY) They were very stingy with the A/C!  The Pontiac Silverdome featured the world's first major Teflon-coated, fiberglass fabric roof, which was supported entirely by internal air pressure. The 10-acre roof was held up by 25 large fans. My friend didn’t handle the heat well and passed out while we were in the concessions line. A guy who worked there saw him pass out and yelled, “WE HAVE AN O.D. VICTIM HERE!” I tried to tell the medics he hadn’t taken anything, but they didn’t believe me for some time. He ended up missing 2 of the bands back in the stadium’s “sick room” in a bed! I went with Gary (the sick guy) & his brother, Tony. I told Tony we ought to go check on Gary. His reply was, “He’ll be fine back there. Plus I don’t want to miss any of the show!” Gary was able to see Scorpions and Van Halen (Van Hagar)… so all wasn’t lost. 😬 #VanHalen #Scorpions #Dokken #Metallica #KingdomCome
