ZZ TOP - Hartford civic center, 1987.
I won a contest from a Radio station and took one of my buddies to ZZ TOP. The station sent a limo and picked up a total of 4 of us to go.
The other 2 had won a much bigger contest where they were flown to Florida for a concert, but somehow the entire thing was messed up. They we're not quote as happy as we were.
Any way, we get to the concert and met with the manager. There was a big argument between the other two and the manager about backstage passes. I tried calmng the situation down, and in the process, pulled out a box of Altoids. At the time, Altoids in the US were pretty rare. The manager , a woman, loved them and proceeded to take a few. Then she promised to see what she could do about the passes.
20 minutes into the concert, while in the front row, we were handed out back stage passes! It was pretty cool to meet the band afterwards. And the "party" back there was pretty darn cool.
