I must be getting old or something. I’ve only even heard of 2 of those 5 acts in the OP. ---

I saw Cheap Trick in 2003 with Eddie Money and Foreigner and Journey all in one night, pretty fun evening 🙂 By the way, based on your location, Happy, you must be a Beastie Boys fan 🙂 ---

The Forum isn’t so bad, it’s on a major street and the parking lot is well lit and crowded. I used to work in Inglewood … at Herbalife back in the 1990s as an IT guy. ---

[QUOTE= Sean Arenas] I saw Cheap Trick in 2003 with Eddie Money and Foreigner and Journey all in one night, pretty fun evening By the way, based on your location, Happy, you must be a Beastie Boys fan [/QUOTE] I still have the lighter I used to hook Robin up with a Marlboro in the middle of a Lucky Strike promo show at Irving Plaza. Earned me a handshake and a genial head-smack. Hell of a night that was. And yes, big Beasties fan. License to Ill was 7th grade or so. I will be at one of the Cheap Trick shows- haven’t figured out which one yet. Also still trying to decide if the nostalgia is worth the cover charge on the Bell Biv DeVoe show. ---

Lovvved that album though. > [@Happy\_Scrappy\_Hero\_Pup](#): > > I will be at one of the Cheap Trick shows- haven’t figured out which one yet. Mon, Tues, Weds - sigh, how come they can’t do a Fri or Sat show? Either way, buy the tickets !today! because you can get the TicketFeast discount of $10 per ticket, but that sale goes away tomorrow ($52.50 instead of $62.50). > [@Happy\_Scrappy\_Hero\_Pup](#): > > Also still trying to decide if the nostalgia is worth the cover charge on the Bell Biv DeVoe show. Can’t wait to miss that one. Meanwhile, I took this video at my high school reunion several weeks ago, and people there seem to like BBB: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bohT4zhmLtc/hqdefault.jpg "SHHS 20-Year, Poison") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bohT4zhmLtc)
