Okay, I'm throwing in the towel for now - but I'll add more when they come to me or I figure out what year they happened, like Iron Maiden/Queensryche/Halford, Iced Earth/Megadeth, and Queensryche/Dream Theater/Fates Warning - I know I was there, but I can't remember what year.. I'm sure some of these are wrong anyway

 

[Jasonic]

Yeah, all your lists keep reminding me of gigs I forgot to mention.
I too saw the Danzig / Prong tour.
I also saw a Prong headlining gig.

I forgot a couple arena tours, such as Def Lep / Tesla in 87, and then Scorps / Tesla in 2004.

Nuclear Assault / Mordred / Mortar (Cubby Bear 1989)
Testament / Savatage / Nuclear Assault (The Vic 90 or 91)

Nice!! I remember that Testament tour.
I ton of people from my HS went.
I had already gotten into my "punk" phase at that time and had stopped going to metal shows for the most part......

I had tickets once for Overkill / Nuclear Assault at the Riv.
We got their to find out the show was canceled.
I was so pissed.
It was Overkill for "Under the Influence" and Nuclear Assault touring for "Survive" My fav albums from both those bands.....

 

[Diabolik]

The Testament show was great...it was odd. Nuclear Assault were are thier highest point in their career and everyone just stood there for them. Savatage had people also just standing there asides these two skin heads who were going nuts for them. The place went berzerk for Testament.

The Nuclear Assault / Mordred show was great. No one was there for Mordred asides myself I think. Of course they didnt play anything asides one song off the first album....that is all they had out at the time. They played all new stuff that wasnt released yet. I was pissed. It got so hot in the Cubby Bear. It was below zero outside and like over 100 degrees inside. When the show was over there was smoke coming off of everyone leaving the show.

 

[Jasonic]

Wow, I can't even begin to think about this. hahaha

I've seen Slayer alone, 19 times...

I think before I could ask you to do your complete concert history, I would like to see NOVEMBERS DOOM's complete show-ography!!!!

There's your next project Paul.

The book is done, so NO excuses!

I love when bands post all thier show info on who they played with and so on. Freedom Call does that on their web page, or they used to, they would put who they played with and thier set list and any other interesting info from that show. It was cool to see the minor changes from set to set for each show and all the different bands they played with. I wish more bands would do this.
