[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1868409, member: 10336"] ZZ Top in 86/87. It snowed that night, and there was a lot of extra "ambience" in the air inside AH, so me and my buddy were not quite ourselves as we made our way outside. The combination of the snow in the air, the bright lights, and the white roof resulted in us having no idea where we were relative to Kirby St. I think we staggered around the hall twice until we finally made our way back home. Great concert (RIP Dusty) and a fun story. I was also at that Leppard show in 88, saw U2 on the Joshua Tree tour in 87, R.E.M., and I can't remember who all else during my time on campus. The AH was a good stop for national acts back then, never a shortage of entertainment. [/QUOTE]
