The lineup for that day was just ... this ...

Journey (Departure tour)
Black Sabbath (Heaven and Hell tour, with new singer RJD)
Cheap Trick (Dream Police tour)
Molly Hatchet (Flirtin' w/Disaster tour)

As a 13 year old rocker kid, I didn't like it at all ...



Can't remember if Molly Hatchet still had Danny Joe Brown singing at that point, I didn't know them well enough to know to check, but I *think* it was still him. They rocked the place.

not sure about Danny on that tour. He did leave for a couple years there, but he was on the studio version wasn't he?

And although Beatin' the Odds wasn't out just yet, I think maybe they did play that song.

Again, vague recollection was they sounded different than they did on the Flirtin W/ Disaster album, which I'd heard before the show, so that's what making me think, in hindsight, DJB was maybe gone at that point and Jimmy was there.

near the end. Wish the guitars didn't step on him so hard in the video.

At thirteen its a fact that some parts of the brain are not fully developed, lol. Maybe its just that you didn't have loads of experience yet at concerts. Cause the line-up! wow
