Ozzy Osborne in 1980. I hardly remember anything about that entire day though. Miss Reveille got on stage and barked.

I heard they brought a steer on the stage and he bit its head off but I don't remember that part.

I don't know but the concert was dismissed per tradition.

Only went to bball games in Rollie and the side lab to print some *****

Disappointing experience w bball.

Yeah but remember that time Shelby took off his tie?

The answer to this question should have been the Supremes, but Town Hall couldn't get enough Aggies to sign up to attend. So, we got George Jones back in his butch haircut and his Porter Waggoner wannabe suit days

Only concert I saw there was Garth Brooks in 90 or 91. So I guess that was the best one.

George Strait, Ace in the Hole tour, prob '90

Toto in the 80's. Didnt really want to go but friend had free tickets.

They had an amazing group of musicians, particularly the drummer.

In between songs, it was very quiet while David Gates tuned up and a girl shouted out clearly and beautifully:

" I want to hear Aubry "

R.E.M. sometime near my birthday in 1989

You should catch the Yacht Rock Documentary....it's either on Prime or Netflix. Amazing the talented session musicians that came together to form Toto.

Yeah...I'm old.

I remember seeing Ricky Van Shelton, Reeba, Alabama and maybe one other in the 80's. Wasn't really a kuntry music fan, so Ricky was my favorite method of ear torture.

Steve Martin, Beach Boys, Firefall/Sanford-Townsend Band.

Jimmy Buffett, without a doubt.

I know most people know that Elvis was at G. Rollie White in 1955, about a year before he went on Ed Sullivan - I did not attend as my parents weren't even married back then:



From Reddit, citing Sun Records archives:
There was a 7:30 p.m. concert in College Station at the G. Rollie White Coliseum on the campus of Texas A&M University in Bryan, Texas. The show was sponsored by the Office of Student Activities. Advance tickets cost 35-cents for children and 75-cents for adults. At the show, seats were 50-cents and $1.00. Elvis was dressed in a pink dinner jacket, black open-collar shirt, pink socks, and red shoes
When Elvis rolled onto campus that evening of October 3, the Aggie footballers couldn't believe their eyes, much less their ears, as hundreds of squealing girls wiggled and cavorted like Elvis himself. The girls had gone gaga over the man on stage. Some pulled their shirts mid-high, seeking approval, while others went further, removing their panties and throwing them onto the stage.
Elvis needed to look no farther than the front row to know it wasn't a normal college crowd. There stood military officers, sabers on their hips, shoulders-to-shoulder facing raucous fans. No one had ever seen anything like it at A&M. But, for the most part, the kids seemed to be having fun, until Elvis did the unthinkable. He spit his gum onto the stage floor.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd rushed to the edge of the stage. Corps members moved in waves, shoving their dates aside. They shook their fists and cursed the swivel-hipped rocker. ''You desecrated our stage''! they screamed. ''Somebody knock that sonofa***** off of there''. Swords were suddenly drawn. A company commander grabbed the microphone and began barking orders; 'Men, get back to your seats'! This boy didn't mean any harm. We've already picked up his gum. Everybody get back. Now, goddammit''.
Amazing, the cadets retreated. Elvis held his arms above his head and apologetically smiled. 'Sirs and ladies', he said, 'I'd like to say I didn't mean anything by it. I'll try to do better'. With those two strings still dangling from his guitar, Elvis went into ''Shake, Rattle And Roll'', a song made famous by Bill Haley and the Comets. Even the cadets started moving to the music. By the time he tried ''Good Rockin' Tonight'', the audience was his once more. He even returned for encores, including ''Maybellene'', a song made famous by Chuck Berry.


The Battalion mentions the Louisiana Hayride here Monday on Sept. 29, 1955 mentioning that Elvis was part of the Louisiana Hayride music program.




It cracks me up to see his 1954 & 1955 tour - I wonder what some of those Texas towns were like in 1955...

Night Ranger with Cheap Trick opening Oct 1985

Toto with John Parr (1 hit wonder) sometime in '86 or '87

Huey Lewis & the News - Fall '86 (I think)

I was at this show too! It was great. I think it was right before they got really popular.

Alabama my fish year '92-'93.

Looks like you might not have remembered very much at all here. I'd never heard of Ozzy playing at A&M, so I looked on Setlist.fm and Ozzy didn't even play America in 1980. Just England. And in early June of 1981 he played 4 Texas dates…Houston, Beaumont, Ft Worth and San Antonio.

Maybe the fuzzy memory had you at one of these locations?

It was just a joke. I was wondering how long until it would get caught but I like the idea of him biting the head off of Bevo.

REM and the Pretenders



G. Rollie White Coliseum Concert History

If I only had a T.A.R.D.I.S, Doc Brown's DeLorean or Mr. Peabody's Way Back Machine there are a few other concerts held at Jolly Rollie that would be fun to attend.

I was at the Night Ranger and Cheap Trick and at Huey Lewis & the News.

Of the two, I think I preferred Huey Lewis, but both were great.

Willie and Cheap Trick. There was another 80s soft rock chick type music band too. I can't remember their name.

No I'm thinking more like Night Ranger feel to them but earlier 80s. I didn't want to go but turned out to be a good show. 1983-84 time frame.

Probably Sam and Dave with The Fifth Dimension. The place was rocking.

Air Supply. Just googled it. There's a page with all the concerts on it.

Reba with Brooks and Dunn supporting, just as Boot Scootin Boogie became a hit. 92 or 93?
