Yeah, sorry about that T.D.. I looked through the past responses to see how the heck that happened. LOL! I'm a S.Cal guy through and through but haven't lived there for over 2 decades. Anytime I see something regarding my stomping grounds, I typically go down memory lane. Grew up surfin' everything from Ventura to Rosarito(back then the waters were very territorial. Just like the scene in Point Break) and skatin' pools as a youngster with them Z-Boys. Still have my Peralta board and everything.

So yeah....

Yeah, that concert with Boston seems as off as the Summer Jam I went to at Anaheim Stadium with Iron Maiden, Scorpions, Loverboy AND Foreigner.

KMET- Chuckle....it was always a dance between KLOS and KMET depending on who had commercials going! Last I heard KMET went country. 😂😂😂

Nice.
Van Halen was my first concert in 1981 at the Coliseum. Still have the shirt. Was deaf for over a week.

My friends and I were just finishing a surf set one morning and got a call from another friend who was a roadie for Ratt, he says that U2 is going to be playing on a rooftop in downtown. So we bolted from my buddy's beach house to that.

The Roadie for Ratt(Johnny) is in their video for "I want a woman" right @ :13 and gives a thumbs up
Because of him, we hung out with them in his garage whenever they flew into town. Chicks galore and loads of fun. 😜

The 80's were a blast for my friends and I. Mainly due to hanging out with so many of the bands of that era. Had a lot of friends in the industry.

Nice! Once upon a time while waiting to go see a Sammy Hagar concert at Universal Amphitheatre, I was having mid day drinks at a Blues House just across the way. It was a cool looking place that had 3 levels going straight up above the stage. No band present that early but there was great blues sounds flowing through the place while I was doing Tequila and Corona shots. Each order was one of each. I was on stage level just admiring the hell out the place. I was shooting the shit with the waitress and she was filling my ear about the cool digs. No sooner after I tell her how much I'd love to meet the cat who the place was named after, he comes walking around the corner and introduces himself. I completely lost the ability to speak and he gave a hearty chuckle due to that......

I have tickets to Steely Dan at the Hollywood Bowl early June. I was taking my 17 year old son to his first big concert. Don't think that's happening. Waiting to see what Ticket Master does refund wise? Two tickets, $700.

Not a bad first concert to hit. Especially at the bowl👍.

You in L.A. or flying in?

My first thought is WOOHOOO but the first sentence into the story and the first one in the last paragraph pretty much says it all. Unless of course the resort let's you stay there under the state of emergency called out, either free or at a ridiculously discounted rate per the government(you know, like the stimulus check😜). Then there's the thought of everyone dropping like flies on an island that would turn it into more of The Island Of Dr. Moreau (well, sorta) rather than Gilligan's Island.

Stumbled across this video and I just had to share it!! Both him and the ISUP he used took a beating! It's a long video but really cool to watch. Shows an abundance of patience along with a fantastic sense of adventure! Enjoy!✌
