Big brother AND Greenguy sees you!

This was a hard one, because I really can't remember.
But I *think* this was the first one (after some google'ing)
1984-10-11: Dio on his Last In Line tour. Fun fact, this was the first concert in this venue without chairs!! (So I'm part of local history).

Back in those days big names usually didn't stop in Norway. We're kind of on the outskirt, at least back then with very few venues to choose from.
I *DID* see Eric Clapton in the same venue and there are two dates it can be, but I'm going for EC 1985-03-20.

Nowadays almost everyone makes a stop in Norway and we have some really great venues spread around southern part of Norway.
Back then it was almost only Drammenshallen who did have concerts and that's not even close to close where I lived.

And, if we count out a few small christian bands in our community, DIO is the very very first. Probably.
