Maybe the house band liked it, but most of the musical guests hated the policy. If you wanted to play on Letterman...you had to let the house band play along. It was an asinine policy and I think they stopped doing it when Letterman moved to CBS.

Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades have such harmonizing vocals.

I agree, Ill be 60 in a few months and I remember seeing Ted when I was 16 years old, in 1980, back when you could still get front row seats for $13.75. Back the, if you were first in line, you could get the front row seats and my folks allowed me to stay overnight outside the Ticket booth at a place called Kaufmanns. Kaufmanns was a department store, but they had a ticket office on Monroeville, Pa, indise the store and we would get there at 6 pm the night before and stay all night until they opened at 10 am . When they opened the doors, my friend Tom and i would run like heel to get there first! Thats was fun! Derek St Holmes was with Ted still and a group called Axe opened for them at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena. I thought i lost my hearing that night, LOL, so loud! We were lucky to see REAL musicians back then, now, they are few and far between. Back then, every single summer there were at least 25-30 shows to choose from and I swear i drove my parents crazy spending money to see as many as I could. Triumph, Rush, Black Sabbath, Ted Nugent, Journey, Iron Maiden, Bob Seger, J. Geils band, the Who, Judas Priest, The Stones, Billy squire, Foreigner, The Eagles, Steve Miller, Allman Brothers, The Police, Genesis, Yes, Mellencamp, Neil Young, CSN, Tom Petty the list goes on and on. Each concert was its own party, we could tailgate in the parking lot and the cops were cool about it, inside the arena, people would be smoking and getting prepped for the show, not too many fights, everybody seemed to get along for the most part. We were all in the moment, no phones to look at, we all just had fun. The best part about the old Pittsburgh Civic Arena is that the roof was able to be opened, so for some shows, they would open the roof, and you could see the moon on some occasions. It was a completely different time that will never come back. I had a good friend that would go to almost every show with me, we had a blast. He past away a few years back and we used to sit around an reminisce about all the fun we used to have before, during and after the show. Its to bad things have changed so much, but I guess that's what our parents said too.

I then witnessed him climb a 30-foot ladder from behind the curtain at the top of his wall of amps, parted the curtain with spotlights glaring, and jumped onto the stage to a 130 decibel roar; and that's where my brother was securing the stage pit. He got to see the rest of the show out front, as I had to work backstage with Journey, the opening act. Catering was awesome that show, endless Maine Lobster and Heinekens :)

Let me tell you: I have loved Damn Yankees since I was a kid. I first discovered them in 7th grade in 1995 from a cassette tape my older brother had (their self-titled first album). They were no longer popular, of course, but that didn't matter to me. I thought they were awesome. Man, I wore that tape out! By that time, grunge had taken over the radio and rock like that just wasn't popular anymore, so no one I knew around my age had even heard of them. Damn Yankees came out during a musical transition period, so they didn't have much of a chance before Seattle took over. No disrespect to grunge. There's a special place in my heart for that too, but there's just something amazing about those Damn Yankees! Long live Ted, Tommy, Jack, and Michael!

The "Damn Yankees" were a great band; a blend of many talents, in my opinion. Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades put out their second CD in 2007 called "Influences"; they covered a variety of songs from the 1960's and 1970's from various artists and bands. "Shaw Blades" also did a tour in 2007 to promote their CD. Tommy and Jack put on a spectacular performance; I had the pleasure of seeing them twice in concert. They played smaller venues, so the audience really got to see and hear some great music

Crazy! I've never seen anything like it since. All that talent on one stage, and they performed so well together.
