Here’s a flier that was one of many that almost covered the windshield of my 1984 Camaro when I came out of one of the shows I went to in the LA area. I did not attend this show, I just saved the flier because it had Y&T and Ace Frehley on it. Those guys were HUGE, I just wanted to have it for a poster to put on the wall. The other band listed that had no logo and was printed in standard font was probably pretty good if you showed up early to catch their act.

The back of this flier has even more good bands and it shows dates in August:

I would have sworn the show where I got this flier was one of the ones I went to at the Long Beach Arena (Aerosmith/Dokken, Ozzy/Anthrax/Lita Ford), but those were in ’88 so that doesn’t check out. My best guess is that I got this flier on July 18, 1987 at Irvine Meadows Amphitheater when I saw Ratt with Poison opening for them. I found this when I searched for Ace and Y&T + Old World Beer Gardens:

Says Faster Pussycat was there and no mention of Guns. Who knows? I still got the flier. Not in the greatest shape, but neither am I.
