I'll "chip in alright" - Music and Pinball - my favorite hobbies.

Seen a few bands in my time - here's a snippet

Great Bands

Extreme - three sides to every story - Palace 1996ish. Awesome show - fantastic musicians and professional production.
Stryper - To Hell with The Devil - Festival Hall 1988. Great live band - smaller venue, but I enjoyed he show immensely. Awesome live band.
David Lee Roth - Skyscraper - 1989. Steve Vai was a guitar GOD back then and David Lee Roth was the ultimate frontman
Cheap Trick - The Flame - 1988. Simply awesome - a very professional outfit. I still have the album cover signed by the band and my left ear drum burst that night - ouch!
Whitesnake - Slip of the Tongue 1992 Festival Hall - AWESOME Warm-up Gig for their world tour. Coverdale was great that night.
KISS - KISS my ASS Tour - 1994ish - Rod Laver Arena - 1st and 2nd Night - completely blown away by this tour. Really did show the other bands how it is done !"
KISS - Reunion - 1996 - All three shows, but particularly the first night. Every other band prior to this was worthy of possibly being the warm up" gig !
KISS - Farewell - 2001 - Third and final Melbourne show - Best gig I've ever seen.
Iron Maiden - 2008 - Wold Slavery tour - LOVED this show. Other bands should take note - This is how the "big boys" do it !!

Shockers

Guns'N'Roses - Appetite for destruction - Tennis Center 1989ish.. HORRIBLE. As Mr Mckey says - "Drugs are bad - mmmakay?" Terrible Show
Motley Crue - Dr Feelgood 1990ish - When we grow up, we want to be KISS.. Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee were great. The other two.. well..
Warrant - Just shocking. Rubbish. I saw Red, then I walked out thedoor..
Bon Jovi - slippery When Wet - Tennis Center 1987ish. Choirboys blew them off stage. Theirset was TERRIBLE.

Had fun compiling this list - and I'll bet I missed a few !
