 Concert #019

Sunday, February 3, 1985 - Ector County Coliseum - Odessa, Texas (17)

 


 

Kiss (2) [Animalize HOF
Queensryche (1) [the Warning]
Y&T  (1) [In Rock We Trust]





I went w/ Kim? Dean and Terri? Dan and Ciss? Rick, maybe Lee?
I was 17 years old.
 Kiss STILL had the Tank stage from Creatures of the Night. That makes three tours they milked that thing on. Since Creatures of the Night. It was cool, but I have never seen any other band do that.
 This was the first tour with Bruce Kulick on guitar for Kiss. I was really disappointed that Mark. St. John didn't tour with them, because I thought Animalize had the best solos ever done on a Kiss record. According to Wikipedia St. John was forced to leave Kiss during the subsequent tour after being diagnosed with Reiter's Syndrome.
I was a HUGE Queensryche fan since the day I first heard them. I even had their first fan mail out, from the first EP, that is on news print, and folds out like a news paper. I will dig it up and put it on here when I get the chance.  I remember I was a little down on The Warning, because of the ambient, reverb-ish sound in the production. The songs were not bad, but that sound sucked.
First time to finally see the legendary Y&T, and the great Dave Meniketti. It was a short set, but I really dug it. Mean Streak, Black Tiger, they were great.
Second time to see Kiss, First time to see Queensryche, First to see Y&T.

RIP Eric Carr - drummer - [KISS - 1984, 1985] - November 24, 1991 Carr suffered an aneurysm and was rushed to the hospital. Several days later, he suffered a brain hemorrhage and never regained consciousness. On November 24, 1991, Carr died at the age of 41. Coincidentally, he died on the same day as Freddie Mercury.

RIP  January 7, 2011, bassist Phil Kennemore - Y&T - Lung cancer
RIP 2016 drummer Leonard Haze Y&T
RIP Joey Alves - Rhythm Guitar - [Y&T 1984 - 1985] March 12, 2017
"It's with great sadness that I write this today. Y&T's original rhythm guitarist, Joey Alves, passed away at 7:10 this morning. He suffered from ulcerative colitis and other complications that led to his passing.
"Joey was one of the finest rock rhythm guitarists, and I'll always remember playing next to him chunking out those monster chords with his classic red double cutaway '59 Les Paul Jr.
"As Ronnie Montrose once said about Joey, 'There are rhythm players, then there's Joey. A class of his own.....'
"He was a fun guy who always played with attitude and conviction, and was responsible for writing some memorable riffs for Y&T over the years. His friendship and presence will be missed.
"This is a great loss for all the Y&T family and faithful. He now joins Phil and Leonard in rock and roll heaven."
