Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The "Know Your Legion Worlders" Game Round Five

It took 2 guesses this time. My fellow juror (who sits next to me) is named Steve Perry. His wife's name is Cherise or Sherry for short.

Take it away He Who Wanders

Sherry Perry


.... <snicker>

If the judge's name is Neal Schon, perhaps he should recuse himself.

In spite of my love for rock 'n' roll, I'm not a big concertgoer. However, I have been to several concerts in my life. What was the first concert I went to?

1. Trace Adkins
2. Beatlemania
3. Blondie
4. Cheap Trick
5. Lou Christie
6. George Thorogood & the Destroyers
7. J. Geils Band
8. Jefferson Starship
9. Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
10. Rolling Stones
11. .38 Special
12. Uriah Heep
13. Yes

3.Blondie.

Blondie was actually the last artist I've seen live, to date.

HWW, Grand Jury doesn't have a judge. The Assistant District Attorneys present their cases (note plural) and we vote on whether there is enough evidence to go to trial.

Anyway, For my guess I'll go with someone who is fairly local to me.

7. J. Geils Band

Thanks for the correction (though it does spoil my Journey joke ).

J. Geils was one of the first bands I saw -- they were riding high on the popularity of Freeze Frame -- but not the first.

6. George Thorogood & the Destroyers

12. Yes

no?

4. Cheap Trick

George Thorogood & the Destroyers opened for the Rolling Stones, whom I saw in Dec. 1981 . . . nine months after my first concert.

I included three bands I've never seen live, and Yes is one of them. (The others are Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and Uriah Heep.)

As for Cheap Trick . . . they were supposed to appear in my hometown in Jan. 1981 but postponed so they could appear on the "Fridays" TV show. Even though I felt rebuffed, I did go to their show in March. Pete Comita was their bassist (temporary, as it turned out), and Robin Zander actually tossed a KISS record into the audience when he sang "got my KISS records out".

I remember all this because CT was, in fact, my first concert! (And, every time I watch "That '70s Show" and hear CT perform the theme song, I think, "Gee, I saw then back when!")

So, congrats, Kent! It's your turn.

I saw them open for Robert Plant once.
and I remember and LOVED Fridays! preferred it to SNL @ the time.

new Q soon.
