Hall and Oates (not my fav)
Kenny Logins with Dave Mason to open
The Outlaws with Molly Hatchet to open
Jimmy Buffett
Boston

All of them were headliners at the time.

I saw Eddie Money open for Heart at Convo. great show

and caught Three Dog Night at Wilson Hall
and a ton of good shows at the Mystic Den, basement of current Ramada, and Calhoun's (?)

Agreed. That was a great show. Also saw the Kinks at the Convo Spring of 85.

I think the historic evidence is in, and the new venue should only make booking attractive acts more possible, and the audience will be there to support those concerts. The question remains who’s going to be in charge of booking concerts?

Hopefully that's the goal. The plans for this building are so hush hush it has me a little concerned. Nobody seems to know what we're getting. I'm usually one of the first to point to the fact that JMU has built slam dunk facilities in the last decade, but there's a lot riding on this one.

For those of us on the routine webcam snooping - tough view on cam #2 now where they built a quarter of a parking deck to hide progress going on down in that bowl! I guess now they're going to flip over and build the other quarter on the soccer field side.

A townie buddy of mine recalls that show, and he said ole Joe had 2 cases of Schlitz beer right beside his piano bench, which he drank one after another all night. Toward the end of the show he simply leaned over to the other side of the piano and yacked right there on stage. Sad, gross, tragic and kind of a classic memory of Joe Cocker I suppose.

Having faith is fine if you are just a fan. Faith isn’t sufficient if you are donating money to a $88 million arena.
