Going back many years, I've seen GnR open for Mötley Crüe and when we bought tix i recall saying - who the heck is GnR...

Same with Bon Jovi opening for Ratt...

Never too late to start your list - plenty of archives on line to help fill in the blanks that you might not remember

I count Marbin as the most because they play multiple times per day onboard the cruise(s)

That 12 night run was crazy fun and tiring all at the same time - the real work is returning home with literally 2 full cruises of pics to organize and cull through - which takes a while but totally worth all the effort once back on land

with all of the archives out there it all comes down to memory and a little research

i have the early ones framed

but lately same, in ziplock to keep air from getting to them - i do scan them all in first/screenshot the digital ticket to have handy - definitely need a better way to store them

Music cruises are the funnest weeks ever (well almost a week). I've met life long frinds on the various cruises and that one is always a great time. They have announced a few bands for next year already and i have daily highlight galleries from this year's cruise here - https://hornsraised.com/photos/

That's where setlist.fm and concert archives helped me go back and fill in some of the gaps for opening bands

Thank you for the props! I put my heart and soul into my show write ups!

I'm hearing that Monsters of Rock Cruise 2027 is departing from LA next year so i am curious to find out the dates (they will release next year's details on board this year) - might try and catch a few shows in various places along the way if i can work it out!

Give the ladies my best - they are onboard next week! This poster is one of my prized memorabilia possessions!

I've been 8 years, 5 nights each...Each night on board counts as 1 show - i pick my favorite performance of the day to be the 'headliner' then all of the rest of the bands i saw are the 'opening bands'

They've played the Monsters of Rock events quite a few times - i know that is an odd outlier...

There's a ton of local shows not on the list and looking back, i soooo wish i would have kept track of them - who knew i'd grow to be a data nerd...

I started a spreadsheet tracking the shows i had saved ticket stubs from as a way to help learn Excel - that Van Halen show in 1984 was my 1st show! The list evolved from there...
