 Ric Kilmer This was the first ever concert held at the newly-built tacoma Dome. David Bowie / The Tubes Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer It was a very rainy evening in Everett. Jimmy Z's was located on Hewitt across the street from the old Sportsman's Cafe where I used to order fries and brown gravy in my EHS days. Bo Diddley Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer Although I was attending UCLA 1976-79, I came back home to Seattle the Summer of 1977 (when Elvis died). I sat behind the band, as I recall, much like I had done for George Harrison and the Rolling Stones. Led Zeppelin Dec 15, 2020
 BigKlavey61 This was an early birthday present from my son who went along with me. An outstanding concert! Went mainly to see Skynyrd and Charlie Daniels but was pleasantly surprised by the Outlaws and Black Stone Cherry. On the other hand, Blackfoot was a great disappointment. But all in all, a great concert, beautiful weather, and a great venue with very pleasant staff. M3 Southern Rock Classic Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I went on a double-date with my ol' college pal, Doug T., and a girl who would become my girlfriend for the next six years (off and on, mostly on). Berlin Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer Found my old (very old!) 1978 Peter Gabriel UCLA Law School ticket stub that I still have to this day. Uploaded the ticket image to this page. Peter Gabriel Dec 15, 2020
 JohnFod Thanks for the verification! Tough to find. I know The Cars were there; I was in the front row. GREAT show! Kenny Loggins / The Cars Dec 15, 2020
 zimtrim Found a clipping verifying The Cars as the opening act. Posted to listing. Kenny Loggins / The Cars Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer This was the second of two consecutive nights that I saw Neil Young at the Paramount, performing acoustic sets. Neil Young Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer Neil performed two or three consecutive nights at the Paramount. I attended two nights. They were all acoustic shows, no rocking electric. On this night I sat right up front, middle, in the "Golden Circle" seats. After the concert ended, I noticed tat Neil had left a guitar pick on his stool. My concert mate and I had a "tussel" over who had first dibs and thus rightful claim over that bronze-colored HERCO Flex 50 pick, eventualy settling on cutting it in half for both os us. Neil Young Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer The band was riding high at the time with its cover of Neil Diamond's "Red Red Wine." UB40 / The Smithereens Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I brought in a Rockman cassette recorder and recorded some 80 minutes or so of this show. I still have that cassette tape to this day. Perhaps I should digitize it. Paul McCartney Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer A live track from Neil's "Time Fades Away" LP was recorded during this concert. So, I guess you could say you can hear me (and many others) cheering on that recording. Neil Young / Linda Ronstadt / David Crosby Dec 15, 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 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer Of the three times I've seen Paul live, this was the greatest of 'em all. What a super show! Paul McCartney Dec 15, 2020
 Ronald Burke The band Toe Fat opened the show. Elton John followed them, then headliner Derek and The Dominoes closed the show. Derek and the Dominos / Elton John Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer BTW: this was an afternoon show, and it was a nice hot sunny day. Eagles / Joe Walsh / Steve Miller Band / Jesse Winchester Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer I was an intern at NARF in Boulder the Summer of 1978. Great show! Other sites say Jesse Winchester opened this show, but I thought it was Jesse Colin Young of the Youngbloods. Too many years ago to remember precisely. Eagles / Joe Walsh / Steve Miller Band / Jesse Winchester Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer This was the 2nd or 3rd time I saw Crowded House. The first was in 1986 at Parker's, Seattle. I later saw them at Bumbershoot (what year?), then at the Paramount with Roger McGuinn, then again at the Paramount in May 1994 with brand-new act Sheryl Crow opening. Crowded House / Roger McGuinn Dec 15, 2020
 Ric Kilmer The Band backed up Dylan. I remember Rick Danko broke two bass guitar strings. Two! Bob Dylan / The Band Dec 15, 2020
