Rush + UFO + Max Webster : Municipal Auditorium : October 22, 1977 : Stone City Attractions : $7.50

            This killer show was in support of their 5th studio album, A Farewell To Kings. The album would become Rush's first US Gold selling album going Gold in almost two months of its release and eventually Platinum.

In general, 1977 was a great year for me and especially albums and concerts, for sure one of my favorite years as far as music goes.. I was a sophomore at Madison High School, had a huge crush on this Italian girl that dug me too, a weekend gig at Northern Hills Golf Course and so I had a little cash for music and concerts. 

The more I think about it the more I realize how lucky I was to have such awesome bands providing the soundtrack to my life. A few of these albums* truly changed my life:

Cat Scratch Fever from the Nuge, *AC/DC - Let There Be Rock, UFO Lights Out, Meatloaf’s Bat Out Of Hell, Live at the El Mocambo from April Wine, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors, Ramones Rocket To Russia, Jackson Browne’s Running On Empty, Elvis Costellos’ My Aim Is True! Plus the first Clash album, Jimmy Buffett’s Changes In Latitude (with Margaritaville), *Steely Dan’s Aja, *Even in the Quietest Moments from Supertramp, the Grand Illusion from Styx, *Point of No Return from Kansas, Sin After Sin by Judas Priest, Billy Joel’s The Stranger, Kraftwerk’s Trans Europe Express and last but not least *Tom Petty & the Heart Breakers first lp!

I was lucky enough to see all of the above live excluding Meatloaf, Supertramp and Kraftwerk.

Let There Be Rock indeed.
