RIP Greg Ham
I’m a huge Men at Work fan and have been since their first album. Read about it here and of my encounter with Greg in 1999.
Some upcoming shows
Paco de Lucia – I’m overly excited to see this legend up close
Arch/Matheos – flying to Connecticut for this one. I still need to sell my Overkill ticket since the Arch show takes precedence
Bible of the Devil/Broken Teeth – 2 of my favorite live bands together!
Scorpions/Tesla – Don’t really care about Tesla, but the Scorpios always rock
Megadeth/Overkill May 23, 1987
One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen. Megadeth on the Peace Sells tour and Overkill on the Taking Over tour. Holy crap. This actual date was the night of my junior prom. I had a date set up and was set to take her to the prom…then this show got announced and I had to cancel. I mean c’mon. Megadeth & Overkill! I hope she wasn’t too disappointed. Probably not.
When I met Mustaine in the summer of 2006, I told him that above story. His reply was classic. “Don’t use my concert as an excuse for you not being able to get a date, dude!” haha. Nice one, Dave.
The concert was incredible. Period. Awesome setlists!
