That would have been Constrictor?

I realize the question wasn't directed towards me, but I saw Alice on the Constrictor tour in March of '87 -- my friends got me a ticket for my birthday, so that's why I remember. I guess he might have still been supporting that album a year later.

Sadly, I can't even name one song from the Kinks...

Heretic. Consider rocks hurled in your general direction.

Stuff you might have heard on the radio at some point in your life:

• You Really Got Me
• All of the Day and All of the Night
• Come Dancing
• Lola
• Sunny Afternoon
• Don't Forget to Dance
• Set Me Free
• Do it Again
• Victoria
• State of Confusion
• Tired of Waiting for You
• Stop Your Sobbing
• Apeman
• Living on a Thin Line
• Father Christmas
• A Rock & Roll Fantasy
• Celluloid Heroes
  

...and if your local station was worth a darn, they probably played stuff like "Waterloo Sunset" or "Days" or "Well Respected Man". You know The Kinks -- you just don't realize you know 'em.

actually it was nov 1987
the opening act was (ace)freely's comet lol

Stuff like that makes me feel old -- it was almost twenty years ago and I can remember it like it was yesterday. Great show, too. I think that was probably the first concert I attended where the local religious fundamentalists were handing out flyers and protesting and encouraging audience memebers not to see Alice. Apparently we were all going to roast in Hell. And driving home that night sticks with me, too. Thick fog and Traffic's "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" in the cassette player. A very surreal evening all the around...

You guys got Frehley's Comet? Cool! Tesla was opening for Alice when I saw him. Now I feel like I was robbed!

i sort of remember tesla was there too but i could be wrong. speaking of going home after the concert that was an adventure for me. it was a blizard and we had no ride so we had to walk over a bridge that had no walkway down the highway like five miles cars slid off the road everywear to this diner. we called my mom she drove 20 miles to get us in one of the worst snow storms we ever had. it was super stressful. but we survived

Maybe I've just always been freakishly tall.

Yes, she's standing. Yes, it was the mid-80s. Yes my glasses were huge. Yes, I'm wearing a shaker-knit sweater & collar. No, that's not dirt on my lip, my goatee chose to start growing when I was 13.

No need to tell us that pic was from the mid-80s. Her bangs give it away.
