Monsters of Rock at Rice Stadium in '88 was better I guarantee. I arrived at about 11am and stayed on the field the entire day. It was in June I think and hotter than hell on that astroturf. Back then they sprayed us with huge water hoses to keep us cooled down. By the time Van Halen went on around 8-9pm I was no more than 75' from the stage. Didn't really pay attention to the stadium but by the time the Scorpions went on before Van Halen the stadium was full and I couldn't move swaying around with the masses. Metallica was the second band to play just before Kingdom Come and they were just getting big not really mainstream yet. Gee, which one of those ended up bigger? I dont even remember the first band, but five in all.
That was the first concert I ever attended and nothing since has measured up and its not even close. If there were cell phones with cameras back then I would have a hell of a lot of cool stuff to show. As it is it's all in my head.
