You know I saw Tommy Tutone at the Seattle Kingdom (yeah, I'm old) he was the opening, opening act for the Rolling Stones on their "Tattoo You" tour. It was Tommy Tutone, J. Geils and then the Stones. Had kick ass seats before I knew anything about kick ass seats. End row center seats 5th row sec. 1. I'm sure I could have underhanded a softball and hit the stage.
I got those tickets at the local ticket outlet in Salem, Or. Was Meir & Frank Dept. store back in those days. My brother and I were sharing a house at the time and had had a party the night before. I was laying in the bath tub trying to rid myself from the banging going on in my head. The phone started ringing, I ignored it. It kept ringing, would stop for about 30 sec and then start again. After what seemed like freaking forever I went to unplug the damn thing and decided to give who ever was calling a piece of my mind. My brother starts yelling "you gotta go get Stones Tix! KGON just announced they're going on sale this morning!!!" I got dressed and hopped on my bike (rice burner, Honda I think) and rode downtown. I went down stairs to the ticket office and no one was there. I was pissed. I figured my brother was messing with head. Surely if Stones tix's were going on sale there would be a line. A lady, about 60, walked out of the office and I asked are you selling Stones tix's here this morning? She held up a box and said "some band, they just came in, they go on sale in 15mins." I stood there about 2mins and suddenly there was a line of about 2-300 people behind me. If I knew then what I know now I'd have bought the max available- 6. I bought 4 and the guy behind said "4? Seriously?" I had no idea what he meant by that for a long time.
