From the Attic: Texxas Jam 1988 poster featuring Scorpions, Metallica and others.

This came in the mail today, but it probably came from someone's attic, so the title still applies. Anyway, it is nice poster from 1988 that looks like it is from 1988. There is really not much else to say about this one other than the Dinosaur with the guitar is pretty cool. Oh... and this show is mostly known for the fact Van Halen could not play more than a couple songs due to Sammy Hagar losing his voice. It is not the greatest lineup ever assembled, but the poster features a cool design. Still can't go wrong with Scorpions and it would have been cool to see guitar greats George Lynch, and Eddie Van Halen on one bill.  I have a bootleg of the Metallica set, it is a good performance. but the sound is pretty bad. Anyway, if anyone has some stories they want to share about this show, please feel free to post them in the comments section.
