The Anniversary of Monsters of Rock circa 1988

On May 27th, 1988, the Monsters of Rock tour kicked off in East Troy, Wisconsin with Van Halen, Scorpions, Dokken, Metallica & Kingdom Come.

They may have landed in Buffalo but they INVADED RICH STADIUM in Orchard Park on June 19. Now, I do have a few fuzzy memories the show was epic but here is a breakdown of each band based on my memory from over decades ago. If you were there take a look, if you weren't you missed an epic display of rock.
