I saw Accept open for Saxon a couple times in in April 1984, and got Udo to sign my t-shirt when I jumped onto their tour bus after somebody left the door open.

Metal Church! I'll have to dig out my pictures from the shows they did with Slayer in Jun of 1984 at the Mountaineers Club in Seattle (with Wild Dogs) and Rock Palace in Portland. They had only played a few live shows prior to that. Amazing. I saw them various other times, but the show noted on the ticket below is QUITE famous, for reasons that will be our next trivia question, why is it famous?

Testament. I met my wife at the first show of their tour with D.R.I. supporting on Oct 30, 1992 at the Ventura Theater in (surprise) Ventura, CA. If you are up on your Testament / Legacy trivia, that's the show where the drummer bailed after soundcheck, and nobody noticed until just before it was time for them to go on stage. Various roadies and fans tried to cover for him, and generally failed.
