Journey/Red Rider
Seattle Center Coliseum
12/4/81
Red Rider was a very popular Canadian band who would open for Journey, REO Speedwagon, J. Giles and even Rush among others. While they had 4 big hits in Canada only none made it onto the US top 40 although the one below was popular on AOR and college stations. A decent band that had the crowd wanting more and did an encore
Journey was on their Escape tour which was a chick magnet. They played 3 shows on the 4th,5th and 6th and I took advantage of that as best I could. Songs off the album like Don't Stop Believing, Stone in Love, Who's Crying Now were made for making out and that was just off of the first side of the record. Toss in Open Arms and a half dozen + of their other hits and it didn't get much better for a date night or the after show night either.
