You I actually got to see them twice, both in LA.

2018 and 2021.  Its was fun, but I wish I was old enough to have seen them in the 80's.

Earliest I saw them was on the Illusion Tour; think it was early 90s.

Although I would add that the stadium show I went to for the VH 1984 album and later on Judas Priest/Scorpions were pretty unbeatable experiences.

I guess you have to be an old timer to get the joke.

Think I've just gotten to the point I do not remember as much as I used to.  Not really connecting the dots to it , but it may have been something I missed.  There really has been a lot on here over the years as well as many other platforms. 

So in the meantime...

Bummed I never saw them in concert. I remember when Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 came out though - I had a friend who wasn't allowed to buy them (her parents forbid it), so we got the cassettes and we'd listen to them in our other friend's basement or drive around for hours blasting the tunes.

Ah, good 'ol "Skin Deep" starring John Ritter.

The original VHS release featured a glow in the dark label on the spine of the videocassette itself. Pretty clever, that...

Yes, at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, near the DC Comics booth, I perchanced to lock glances with an advanced cosplayer who was the very incarnation of Wonder Woman, somehow a mix between the Lynda Carter version we all knew and the Gal Gadot version that was yet to be. Well, sir, one thing led to another, and that night, I lost myself to ruby red lips, milky white skin, and baby blue eyes, all while snuggly bound at the arms in an impressive replica golden lasso. 

She said her name was Russell. 

Lynda Carter?

 

[jdandns]

Yes, please...

This was about as close as it came back in the early days of SDCC. And, frankly, I was a little intimidated...

Fellow in the picture is the artist closely associated with Red Sonja, Frank Thorne.

And that is Wendy Pini in that picture - she was God's Gift to Red Sonja cosplay back then.

There's a lot of moments where I think: "How cool would it have been to be at XX Convention back-in-the-day" and the top of my list would be in the 70's to see Wendy Pini as Red Sonja.

I had a Red Sonja comic signed by Frank Thorne and Wendy Pini on the inside front page (with authentication from her husband that it was her signature) that I foolishly got rid of when I was "out" of comics. I have a saved Ebay search in place for it on the one-in-a-million chance it ever shows up again.
