A tie to Yngwie Malmsteen: Mitch Perry, of MSG, replaced Yngwie in Steeler. In 1989 I was stationed in California and you could not turn on KLOS or KCAL without hearing this. "Anytime", McAuley-Schenker Group (MSG).
I saw talking heads, blondie, ramones, blotto, pretenders, go gos, the clash all in concert in the 80s Great time for music.
Weirdest 80s show I saw was the Blues Brothers in Palladium a few months before John Belushi died. Belushi was high as a kite and actually passed out on stage, he laid there and Dan Akynoid kept performing for three songs as if it was normal, quick break and John pops back on stage to finish show. He was slurring his words big time.
I also saw Billy Joel in his second large concert he ever did back in tenth grade. He was like a kid back then.
I am friends with a famous 80s singer and my good buddy was a MTV camera man in college. We used to even party with the bands.
BTW Twisted Sister was the "house band" at a club in Island Park NY back in early 80s called Speaks. Zebra also used to play there. Five buck cover, I saw him play there.
Also I saw at another great club called Malibu, Billy Idol do dancing with myself at a Dance club. We were all dancing to Billy Idols songs live. Flock of Seaguls, Boy George everyone played at Malibu.
More MSG... "Gimme Your Love". The video is not too-cliche'-ridden, but there are a few flames, brief camera edits, some smoke, and scantily-clad models as roadies.
Pat Benatar in a different musical direction, kind of do-wop. The Dexy's Midnight Runners attire was to hide her burgeoning pregnancy, IIRC. "Ooh Ooh Song" from 1984.
