You forgot the 1981 Oct 18th Blackfoot & Def Leppard at the Pershing Auditorium in Lincoln, Ne. Def Leppard opened up for Blackfoot and Def Leppard was not even a know band name and wasn't even on the venue or ticket stub.

Man you are missing a ton of concerts..however I don't know what they all were. 1987-1995 I can guarantee there were shows. I saw Midnight Oil at Pershing in 1993. Also saw Soul asylum during that period.
