I was 5 feet from Eddie. I lived 5 blocks from the stadium. Was a Mind blowing Ear Melting Performance.
This was unbelievable to me but my guitar teacher was the main lead in the cheap tricks band, he tell me stories about this concert and stuff about Eddie, ITS SO COOL!! I’m 15 😅
Still have the frisbee. Wish I could find a poster. I was 17 at the time and came from Saginaw. Seger had the light show but I thought Van Halen stole the show. Opening act, Bandit, lead singer had his back towards crowd and held a mirror up looking at the crowd. We all thought that was strange.
