The Return to Greatness

When I was growing up in Cedar Rapids, the Five Seasons Center / US Cellular Center on First Avenue was the hub for concerts. So many great bands came through town (in no specific order):
  • KISS / Great White / Trixter
  • Pantera / White Zombie / EYEHATEGOD / Morbid Angel
  • the Clash of the Titans tour with Alice in Chains / Anthrax / Slayer / Megadeth (I didn't see this show, but damn, I should have!)
  • Sevendust / other bands - was too drunk to remember thanks to drinking at Kurtz before the show and not eating - thanks to Travis B for driving me home!
  • Metallica / the Cult (when I met Scott Golden)
  • Metallica (1991)
  • Def Leppard / Dokken
  • Motley Crue / Cheap Trick
  • Mötley Crüe / Whitesnake
  • Quiet Riot / Whitesnake
  • Loverboy / Dokken

So many great memories.

Now, the opportunity to create another presents itself with a concert on Sunday, August 25, 2013.
