Sammy Hagar Can't drive 55 show stands out as one of my favorites. He played for over 2 hours and. Started asking the audience for song requests and played those songs! He had a stairway to the very top of the lighting rig and climbed that and was playing from a catwalk at the top of the arena. Cool show for sure.

Yep he did the same at the show I saw. Toledo Sports Arena, saw so many shows there. Ratt and Ozzy like you posted was also really good there. I heard other people that saw Ratt in later tours that saod they were not good.
We were pretty fortunate to grow up at that time.

When I saw Kiss in the mid-80's (don't recall which tour) they had King Cobra, who were pretty weak as I recall - wasted several minutes of their opening time with the bass player humping his bass on the drum riser. I would have taken Dokken over them for sure, or Krokus mentioned above, or a bunch of other bands.

Ratt had Mama's Boys opening for them when I saw them (same venue - same year?) and they were really impressive in concert - both bands.

Haha, I remember them opening for Kiss too and the bass humping. Ugh…

I cannot recall who opened for Kiss when I saw them on animalize tour??? It could have been Dokken...because I thought I saw Dokken twice.....but way too much booze and smoke in those days....lol
 
Picked up Tooth & Nail and Queensryche The Warning right around this time in 1984 and fortunately got to see both bands in concert (separately) for those albums
 
Now that I think about it, Tooth & Nail might have been the first album I bought on CD. I stumbled into a deal on CD player pretty early on so had it around through much of the 80's. Still have that CD too! (I suspect I got that CD player cheap because the dude was desperate for drug money, but at the time was a bit naive about it and just went for it.)
