I know...I still can't believe they didn't win it all.:doh:

I went to the WOS-Columbia game at the dome... that WOS team was outstanding...but at this time 20 years ago I, and many of my friends, were on pins and needles waiting on the next Saturday to be at the Summit to see Tesla and Def Leppard... quite possibly the greatest concert, outside of Texas Jam, I have ever been to

I miss the Texas Jam. I went to several of them, including 1987 with Boston, Aerosmith, Tesla, Poison, and Whitesnake. :thumbsup:

[themsu97]

that one was awesome... we actually flew to Dallas from Houston for that one... we drove every other time...

then they went to the Monsters of Rock after that... Van Halen I think put those together... what I miss most of all I think is MTV actually playing videos and head bangers ball

I know! I went to the Jam in 1986 with Van Halen and the one in '87. In '88 I went to Monsters of Rock at Rice Stadium with VH, Scorpions, Metallica, Dokken, and Kingdom Come.

After that those big shows just kinda fizzled out.:(

[themsu97]

'87 at Dallas, didn't Paul Stanley come out and play with Poison?

and we had this debate the other night... and maybe you could help... it was at '87 when the naked dude climbed to the top of the tower... not at Rice at Monsters of Rock correct?

I think Stanley did come out and play Rock N Roll all Nite with Poison.

And yeah the naked dude on the sound tower was '87. I get asked to tell that story quite often by my co-workers. That dude was BLASTED!! I thought he was gonna fall. I don't think anyone was watching the stage at that point.:eek:

[BMOC]

Wasn't that the year that Permian won it all and they made a big deal about the whole "Tie Breaker" thing?

[maroonpirate04]

Gosh 20 years went fast, the time when big hair was in and it was cool 4 men to wear more make-up than your sister and Rock was considered 'Hard Rock' and people were doing the wave at the football games and that time bands would yell "We Got Spirit How Bout You" to each other or play the same song to see which band played the loudest, and remember going cruising around town with my brother in law listening to Def Leopard, Aerosmith, Matallica, Van Halen :smoker: gettin' high :D

[maroonpirate04]

On the big screen these films were released
Home Is Where The Heart Is
Student Confidential
Throw Momma From The Train
Wall Street

On the charts these tracks were fresh "True Faith" by New Order,"Seasons Change" by Expose, and "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure

And on the top of the charts Belinda Carlisle dominated the #1 spot for the second week in a row with "Heaven Is Place On Earth", at #2 "Faith" by George Micheal and Richard Marx stayed stranded at #3 with "Should've Known Better" for the second week

The sound tower... that dude was blasted

I remember that the cops started climbing up to get him. They eventually talked him down, but right about the time he got close enough he kicked at one of the cops on the ground. They pulled him down and Rodney King-ed him pretty good. Then they took him away hog-tied (or cuffed).

Must've sucked, having to spend the night in the Dallas jail drunk and naked.:eek:

[themsu97]

especially in Dallas, they should have taken him to "that" part of town and put him in jail there... I remeber all of that... How I miss my younger days... but now I could possibly be teaching that guys kid

[Z motion 10 out on 2]

I remember 20 years ago I had played my last football game at Arlington Martin. I was sitting home rooting on Arlington Lamar who was defeated by Permian.

Favorite Concert - 1977 in San Antonio - Boston, Moxy, and Black Sabbath - next weekend - AC/DC, Leslie West (Mountain) and Rex....... those were the days :):smoker: :smoker:
well, there was the time a bunch of us skipped school and went to Houston to see Deep Purple in 1974 (I was grounded FOREVER but it was worth it)
