WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks for all the 'welcomes' everyone. I once thought I was one of a small group of obsessed RUSH fans. I stand corrected, there are thousands of RUSH crazy people on TRF. Listening to RUSH for 35 years kinda snuck up on me. It's been a wild ride and I glad I'm not alone.

I'm not sure how many ppl have that nick, but I'm "Wide-Angle Watcher" on Counterparts. It was originally part of my title during the "Board War" between TRI-net and CP. Someone on TRI-net had intimated that members of CP were sewer rats, so many CP members adopted custom titles with "Rat" references. Mine was "Wide-Angle Watcher of Rats' Ancient Tails"...

Damn, I can't remember.... I'm am looking for my ticket stub to see if it says. It might have been The Micheal Shcenker Group. I don't know where I came up with Matchbox 20. If anybody knows who opened on Feb. 3, 1988 @ San Diego Sports Arena.....Do tell Mr. Big maybe? Blue Oyster Cult? I saw them open for Rush around that time. Y & T opened some shows too.

I know it wasn't Shaw, I can't believe it was MSG ( I love early Scorpions and would have remembered Schenker). Until someone says "I was there, it was....", I might have to go with EJ.

Mystic Slipperman Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) I saw the LA Forum show in 1988, just a day (or two?) after your San Diego Show. Tommy Shaw opened at the Forum, for what it's worth. And I concur with the Irvine 1990. I was there too and Mr Big opened that show. The upcoming LA show will be my 9th Rush show. The previous 8: HYF - LA Forum 2/4/88 Presto - LA Forum 4/2/90 and Irvine 6/29/90 Roll the Bones - St Pete FL 2/29/92, and Irvine 6/3/92 Counterparts - LA Forum 2/3/94 Vapor Trails - Irvine 9/28/02 Snakes & Arrows - Hollywood Bowl 7/23/07 We missed the TFE and R30 tours due to financial woes. Trying to make up for that now. Edited May 11, 2010 by Mystic Slipperman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBugGuts Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 It was definitely Tommy Shaw. That was my first Rush show and I'm positive he was the opener. In fact, here's a link from that day's Los Angeles Times that confirms it: http://articles.latimes.com/1988-02-03/entertainment/ca-27206_1_san-diego-sports-arena MikeB Thanks for the help on figuring out who opened up for Rush 1988 @ San Diego. I just don't remember it being MSG or Shaw. Usually when a archive site doesn't list the opener it is because their either wasn't one or the local venue or promoter provided the band to fill in for the night because of the other warm-up bands scheduling conflicts. I've seen last minute 'fill-ins' before for other probable opening acts. Still........ I want to know, for sure, who opened that night. When did Matchbox Twenty form? Maybe my memory is not as bad as I think it is. I love MSG ( Micheal Schenker Group), I am just not ready to say I saw them that night. Damn memory, damn beer, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBugGuts Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Interesting first post. Dug up a 3 year old thread :-) I was trying to assemble a list of every show I've ever seen and was trying to figure out who I saw Steve Morse open for in San Diego in the late-'80s (I still don't know) and my googling led me to this thread. I thought, what the hell, I'd sign up and definitively answer the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
