Spent the day and night down front center stage.

Van Halen
Metallica
REO
Heart
Scorpions
John Cougar
Kingdom Come

These bands were not there. It was a great show, but I think you are misrembering. Dokken was also there to bore the crowd to death.

Huge food fight after Metalica between levels. Got so crazy a majority of the crowd was throwing shit. My sister got overheated after the Scorps ad we had to get her to the medic tent. Scorpions stole the show imo.

crap, I went to two of those. And another one in Arrowhead. The best was the Van Halen/Metallica/Scorpions one. I’d never heard of the Scorpions. Heard one song of Metallica. Was totally blown away. Or maybe it was the good drugs. I remember the food fight. It was a blast watching it.

One of the Summer Jams had the other bands you mentioned. I went to other one with Foreigner, Triumph and others. It was at Kaufman though.

I missed the one with John Cougar.

I did the same thing with the two Aerosmith concerts I saw. They all kind of blend together after all these years.

Yeah, there were two Monsters of Rock’s at Arrowhead. Then another one that wasn’t under the Monsters of Rock banner, may have been REO, Heart, John Cougar? There was another one too. They were having those twice a year in the 80’s because the money was so good.

I miss those days. Twenty bucks and you get to party all day and night to some great bands!

Never heard of the Scorpions? They were one of the first bands I got into as a kid, even before they blew up stateside with Love At First Sting. I remember buying Blackout on cassette and thinking at the time it was the heaviest thing I’d ever heard. Then I was introduced to Sabbath.
