haha I didn't go to that concert but I do remember STP playing at the Mosque. My first real concert was KC and the Sunshine Band at Hammons Student Center. My folks saw Elvis play there. Some really good bands played there when it opened, Heart, Doobie Brothers

Oh bro I thought I was showing my age! KC and the sunshine band? Although I totally would have been excited to see them. Elvis was like 1977ish?

Yeah, that sounds about right. We moved to Arkansas around '79, so before that

edit: well, Elvis died before we moved, so yeah :D

We probably could have just asked Rail Haven he stayed there I know this because that sign has been flashing it for like the last 15 years while I'm on my way to work pissed off because why is this light at St. Louis so long...
