| Where was the concert? Maybe call the venue and see if they have a record, or even a copy of an ad poster. |

| It was 1978 and Virgin opened up for him. That was my very first concert. |

| I have the same memory from The Rainbow Music hall in Denver. I’ve been called a liar on this one, not trying to impress anyone but it happened |

I saw Shaun at the Capital Centre outside of DC in April 1978 with Virgin -- and they did "We will Rock You" and had us all stomp. |

I saw him in Indiana, and I can tell you until right this moment I seriously thought it was Queen that opened for him. Odd that so many of us can have the same faulty memory of that concert! 53 btw.

Same age as y'all, though my parents never would have let me go to the Cap Centre to see him. But I did check him and his family into a resort where I worked 20-ish years ago, so that kinda made up for it.

| Off topic, but speaking of fairly famous bands opening for other bands, I saw KISS open for ZZTop at the Capital Center. Me and my buddies thought they were bizarre, but crap. Actually, I still do! |
