The year was 1984... Ratt at the Rock Palace

Can I assume he was using Pro Tubes?

Wasn't that what Laney had out in 1984??? Laney AOR's I think???

Ratt was my first concert ever! It was the "Invasion of your Privacy" tour, so around 1985. Bon Jovi was new and they were the opener.

I always thought Ratt was cooler than most other bands of the time.

Ratt is often the butt of jokes now but they were cool as shit back in the 80s. They did more of a pirate type thing. There was great play between Robbin and Warren.

Everyone knows the hits but there are some great songs that are not on the radio every 5 minutes like "Round and Round":
- You Think You're Tough
- Sweet Cheater
- I'm Insane
- You're in Trouble
- What You're Give Is What You Get
- One Good Lover
- Chain Reaction

Yep I was.....I knew you said you were at the same show....wasn't the entire stage stacked with Laney stacks??????

And I was at that exact same show in Chicago!!! And like LP Freak said Ratt was so loud it was almost incomprehensible.

Warren was absolutely rippin' in this era. You're in Trouble, Morning After and the solo trade off with Robbin on this recording is some of Warren's best ever playing IMO. Watched the VHS with this a billion times.

I saw Ratt on Out of the Cellar opening for Ozzy Bark at The Moon tour…he was using Laneys, I was close enough for stage volume.

…They did more of a pirate type thing…

I remember seeing a behind-the-music episode and the early Ratt business cards said “fashion rock.”
