The first rock show I ever saw at the old Bangor Auditorium was Queensryche. Grunge hadn t quite exploded yet, and hair metal was still kind of king. Although you could sense change was in the air in general. In fact, the morning I got my Queensryche tickets, was the first time I ever saw the video for Smells Like Teen Spirit.
When we were young. Even the bands.
It s funny to think of all these acts as classic rock at this point. When they all came to Bangor, it was when they were fresh and new. For instance, Ozzy came here on the Blizzard of Oz tour, with Randy Rhoads on guitar. Crazy right? Until you realize the opening act was a relatively unknown band at the time, called Def Leppard.
