Today’s Blimp Time-Hop
35 years ago today, Billy Squier sold out the Civic Center on the Emotions in Motion tour. This was also the second Portland appearance by opener Def Leppard who had just released their breakthrough album Pyromania.
Listen to the Blimp's longtime buddy, Maine’s King of Comedy Bob Marley tell the story of his very first concert on that fateful night, March 21,1983 to help us remember this one. "Stroke Me, Stroke Me!"
