Why can't I remember seeing it? All I remember was Cyndi Lauper and Bob Geldorf. That was a good time though because our intentions were good and we thought we were really helping people.

What did Queen perform?

Thanks Neffy.

Remember after New Wave came "Romantic Wave?" Guys would wear girls' frilly shirts and long rhinestone earrings and *eegh*makeup. Romantic didn't last long though.

Oh ok. That song was pretty popular when I was in school. That and "Another One Bites the Dust." I can't hear "Dust" without thinking of ninth grade.

I think it's nice that you guys appreciate the older groups like Queen and singers like Elvis. Punk Grunge, I was just looking at your profile. I was a Black Sabbath fan too for a while..."War Pigs" was my favorite of theirs. What is yours?

That face was a looong time ago.

That pic we were playing "All The Young Dudes".

We did Clapton, Zepplin, Devo, Robert Gordon..........

If I remember I'll scan an old set list at work tomorrow and post it.

That band was together for 13 years.

'Twas the drugs that broke us up.:(

Hope I'm not threadjacking by posting that.

It's just that was the '80s to me. :)

Starting with Molly Hatchet, I recognized *almost* all of those songs. Missed some though. I love seeing the photo too!

I was also a fan of Heart...you just reminded me to slip some onto my iPod. ;)

Thanks for sharing that, JD.
