They we're part of the first "real" concert I ever went to

September 04, 2022 03:20AM
Not counting some of the small local shows that played here on the lakes when I was a kid

They used to have a all day concert at the Iowa State Fair Grounds in Des Moines back in the 70's and 80's called the Iowa Jam , they don't have it anymore

where they bring in 5 or 6 big bands , and the concert would go all day

the first one , and only one I'd ever gone to had back in the 80's , Iron Maiden , Rainbow , Triumph , Loverboy , 38 Special , and Quarterflash

check out the price for the ticket , 6 bands , 15 bucks



always thought Quarterflash was a little out of place at the concert , but I didn't care , I alwayd kinda had the hots for the lead singer............lol

  Those mega shows for dirt cheap are long gone..

  I think their main problem was they sounded too much like RUSH.....

  I am reminded of George Gobel...
