Steve Miller Band 1977

Now going even farther in time, another find while cleaning the garage. My friends and I saw The Steve Miller Band at WSU while I was a student there.  

This was 1977 and the concert venue was then known as The Performing Arts Coliseum.  It's now the Beasley Coliseum. 

I remember Norton Buffalo was the opening act.

I would see the band again decades later with my wife and friends at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn.

David Bowie Concert--1983

Another great find while cleaning the garage.   One of the first big concerts I've attended as a Seattle resident.  David Bowie at the Tacoma Dome.  The venue was brand spanking new, and this was the first rock concert held there. 

It's hard to believe it was 41 years ago. I think the 16.00 admission price included a third-party ticket fee.

Bowie has since passed away 

Queensryche Autograph

i really thought that I had lost this. 

When I worked at Unisea in Redmond, one of my co-workers was the mom of Queensryche bass player Eddie Jackson.  

This was about 30 some years ago. 

As it happened, this was a breakout time for the Seattle based band and the song "Silent Lucidity" was a monster hit. 

Mrs Jackson was able to get an autograph of Eddie for me.  

I would later meet him at a company party.

This was another find while cleaning the garage 

Living In Suncrest Apartments

Upon cleaning our garage, yesterday, I stumbled across this picture of my apartment in Walla Walla, where I lived from 1985 to 1989.

I moved back to the Seattle area in 1989, where I have been ever since.
