 Ric Kilmer Found it: it was Sept. 30, 1994. My band opened for Missing Persons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2rrJOZMrT0 Missing Persons / Box of Daylight Dec 17, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I saw either this show or one of the earlier ones (three dates) at the Ballard Firehouse mentioned in this newspaper article: https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=19950113&slug=2099186 Missing Persons / Box of Daylight Dec 17, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I had recently moved to UCLA (Aug. 1976) and shortly afterward went to see Leadon at nearby McCabe's. (He had just left The Eagles.) But I'm uncertain of the date (late 1976 to 1977?). Bernie Leadon Dec 17, 2020

 Ric Kilmer Need I say more? I finally got to see Paul live. I saw George in 1974, then Ringo a few times later. Sadly, I never got to see John. Paul McCartney Dec 17, 2020

 Ric Kilmer Was this the show where Ian Anderson stopped mid-song to verbally attack an audience member for throwing something (rose stem?) onstage that hit Anderson in the face? Or was it the Aug. 21, 1976 Seattle concert? Sensational Alex Harvey Band / Jethro Tull Dec 17, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I'm not certain of the day I attended. The show opened Jan. 14. But I attended a very early show. I remember standing in the sunny afternoon line before the show with Roger McGuinn (of The Byrds) and the very thin Lorraine Newman of "Saturday Night Live". Beatlemania Dec 17, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I walked up to the tour bus to get my Hank Ballard LP jacket signed, and Hank happily invited me aboard to meet the band. Many signed my LP jacket and Hank took a photo with me (which I just uploaded). What a gracious and wonderful man, and rock 'n roll pioneer! Hank Ballard And The Midnighters Dec 17, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I think I also saw Etta James and k.d. lang this day at Bumbershoot, but I wouldn't swear under oath to it. I did see Crowded House a couple of days later. The Robert Cray Band Dec 17, 2020
 Jeff Patrick Tour was called "Levi's Fuse '99 Tour" Sugar Ray opened at this show Any info or photos from this event you can share would be great! Goo Goo Dolls Dec 17, 2020

 Ric Kilmer I remember the sound mix and volume level to be the best I have ever heard in that cavernous venue. It was perfection! Douh! Stevie Wonder Dec 17, 2020
 Ric Kilmer Or was this late 1977 at the Roxy? It was SO LONG ago. See: http://www.edensongs.com/recordings/setlists_1/BrandX_77dec17_2.jpg Brand X Dec 17, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I attended one of these two nights. I went because, as a huge Genesis fan, I thought Phil Collins was in the band at the time. But sources say otherwise: http://www.edensongs.com/recordings/BrandX_Performances.html Brand X Dec 17, 2020
 Ric Kilmer The guys wore really colorful and flamboyant costumes, as I recall. Or was that a later Bumbershoot appearance? I stood right in center front and real close. Crowded House Dec 16, 2020
 Ric Kilmer Found a source that says Nov. 15, 1986: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/crowded-house/1986/unknown-venue-seattle-wa-43fb173b.html (I still have the poster signed by all but the drummed.) Crowded House Dec 16, 2020
