Terrible Fashion of the late 70s

In 1979 I started going to concerts. This was probably my third concert. Journey and Sweet - and Sweet was the opener! How they must have loathed opening for Journey. It was at the Civic Center, but was only a half house show.
At that time I liked actually getting to the show early and picking out a spot right down in front next to the barricade. I always brought my crappy little 110 camera to take photos. I took this picture of Steve Perry, which is the best photo of the night. Yet I still can't help be disturbed that his purple shirt is unbuttoned and tied in a knot at his midriff. Oh the humanity!

She is hot, although I'm wondering what she has stuffed down the front of her pants . . .

Actually I don't think that chicks very good looking. But I do admire how she can keep so svelte.

As for Sweet, yeah they kicked Journeys ass big time. However on this tour they were promoting their record featuring the song Discophony, a disco-y send up of disco songs. Thus the poor sad bastards rocknrolling Ballroom Blitz was all but forgotten by the Journey seeking crowd.
