That was really nice to read, Lisa. I'm envious! Though I did meet Rob, KK and Glenn at an in-store promo they did last May! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Lisa Samarron from Saturday, April 04, 2009 2:29:32 AM)

The date was Sunday June 15 1980. San Diego State Open Air Theater. It was my first Priest show. I was 17 years old. The show was not even close to being sold out. After the first song, Rob looked out at us. He could see our excitement, our love of the music. He looked at wooded barrier between us and the band. I remember him looking up at us, looking down at the barrier a couple times. He then said something about it being a party, why the gap? I remember the bouncers looking like "WTF". We then closed the gap. I found myself a place kneeling on that wooden barrier. I loved Priest's music before that show.. I loved Priest by the end of the show... The following year... Priest's show was sold out... The crowd outside wanted in so bad they broke down the gates. (Stupid move in my book) The show was cut short. I remember the news said that Priest was never allowed back at SDSU... Never Say Never Priest will be back at SDSU this August. I now live in Humboldt County, CA, 800 miles north of San Diego. Sure I could catch British Steel 30th tour up north here somewhere. I want to be there, in San Diego!!! I will be there!!!!
