Written on the way home

What people wrote about nights here

  • A guest 80% for Yngwie Malmsteen · Fri, 05 Dec 1986

    Yngwie was great. I had been into his music for a while when I lived in Germany, so it was awesome that when I moved back to Davenport, I was able to see him in my hometown with little travel. Loved the Col. I don't remember too much specifically about the show, but I had a good time. Helped that I loved Black 'N Blue and Saxon, who is byfar one of my favorite NWOBHM bands. Kind of a downer album for them on this tour, though. "Party til You Puke?" NEIN DANKE.
