Mark me down for Portland! If I remember correctly, that was the first show of the tour. It was at least very early in the tour. I know that much. January 10th, 1986! It was snowing out and I stood outside waiting for the doors to open up in a t-shirt because I was going down front and didn't want to deal with my jacket down there. LOL!!!
Twisted Sister.... Come Out and Play!
Largo, MD was January 8, 1986 if memory serves me correctly.... I just wore my denim jacket (which I put on when I was 14 and finally took it off a few years after I graduated college....only to put it back on again in 2003.....) It was snowing big time, and I was FREEZING. I came down with flu two days later and was sick for two weeks....I remember I put my concert tee, bandanna and program next to my bed, and I every time I felt crappy, I would just look at them and smile.
I have to admit that occasionally, I still pull out the Twisted Sister memorabilia when I need a lift....when the tour is over, I'm framing my vest. At this point, it could probably walk itself to the frame shop. Perhaps I need a little febreeze before Canada.... |
