Who used all the Wi-Fi?
Ah, apartment life.
Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.
Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.
Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.
Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.
That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.
Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.
Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?
apartment?
Hey, it's Waters for the Waters' Week, I've called.
Have I said this lately that I love tunes days?
Well, I do, and this morning we were talking about live music of all kinds.
My first concert, Theater Rapids, I think it was 1982 with Billy Squire and Nazareth.
Ooh, very nice.
Nazareth is better than a lot of people would think.
You know what Nazareth done for me?
What?
At 15 years old, I seen him tug a bottle at Jack Daniels and throw it across the stage, and I decided I wanted to be like him.
I've seen probably over 400 concerts in my life.
So what else did you see?
Black Sabbath was my total favorite.
Oh.
I've seen him five times.
Jeez.
Yeah,
I hauled my
husband all over the country to see him.
That's great.
You're a hard rockin' girl.
I'm
not even kidding you.
I love
it.
The harder the better.
Yeah!
Rock and roll, man!
Rock and roll!
I started doing scrapbooks, so I have about four scrapbooks all the way dated from 1982.
Oh, that's cool.
Can I do about 20 shows a year?
Keep that in the car.
Just in case you're ever driving by, you can stop in and I can look at that.
Oh, I would
love to.
Yeah.
Come on
by.
Thank you.
Good morning, Mr.
Waters.
Good morning, big man.
How are you?
What's up, my buddy?
Nothing.
Happy toon, Zane.
Can you say that one more time?
It sounded like music out of your mouth.
Happy toon?
Well happy tunes day to you my friends, so tell me live music for you Bremer County big man.
What do you like?
What have you seen?
What do you I
kind of remember?
Yeah,
I saw that too.
That was a that was a good show
And you know everybody's gonna call in a comment.
I'm sure on Peter Frampton.
I did play some Frampton earlier.
I did.
I just got in the radio range.
That's cool.
So you can play whatever whatever your little heart desires my
friend.
Oh Well, I'll have to talk to my heart a little bad.
What shall we play for the Brimmer County big man, Mr.
Hart?
Is it true?
Yes.
A lot of people will hear it and not believe it, but believe it.
Did you really get divorced?
Oh, that one.
My
wife said that.
And I'm like, why haven't?
Well, yeah.
Yeah, we've been separated about a year and headed for the big D, but we're still really good friends and it's no animosity there.
We want to be friends, but we don't want to be married.
So it's all very cool.
I'm
sorry to hear that, man.
So yeah, I guess I was right.
The rumor was true, even though I didn't know you were talking.
I got it right.
What are these days I am gonna swing in and see ya?
I'd love to meet ya!
I love that when people stop in.
Just let me know before you do it, and I'd love to welcome you in.
Also, well, until then, have
a Happy
Toons Day!
Well, thank you for an iconic big man!
Happy Toons Day to Youons Day!
Alright, have a good one.
Hey, good morning, Mr. Waters.
How are you today, sir?
I'm doing pretty good.
How are you?
Excellent.
I love your topic
this
morning.
Thanks, man.
What
was your
favorite...
Yeah?
Have I talked
to you before?
I've talked to you before, haven't I?
You have probably talked to me before, at least a few times.
Okay.
Yeah, I went to see Sticks in Chicago.
We were huge Sticks fans coming.
Actually, we grew up where they recorded in Oakland.
Okay.
And the original group, the Panazos, Tommy and J.Y., yeah.
Love that group.
That
would have been a great show.
I remember when that came out and I went and got the album and loved the album.
Didn't see that tour, but they did.
It was probably 15 years later, they did Return to Paradise and I saw
that.
That was a great show.
John Panazzo had passed.
Yeah, I know a lot of people still love the current mixture, but
There's nothing like the original band.
Well, that's
they were they were amazing.
When guys get together and they first become something, there's a reason they become big.
It's because of the chemistry of the guys in the band, you know, right?
And still still a great band because they're able to get now that they're a great band and big, they can get great musicians to come in and replace others.
But you're right, it's not that same band.
It's different.
The chemistry is different and and there's no there's no.
in that.
Right.
I feel the same way like with Journey.
I mean, I know they've had great mixers, but
Steve Perry, I mean, how do you, how do you duplicate that,
right?
Like 30th, 1978, Eagles, Linda Ronstead and Dan Fogelberg, Arrowhead Stadium.
Oh,
I hate you.
Yeah, it was
a
great concert.
All bet.
Very first
one.
So is that Hotel California tour for the Eagles.
That was your very first concert.
Very first.
I was 18.
What was the best moment of the show?
I can't remember what the song was, but when everybody flipped their lighters, of course, back then you could
smoke.
Yeah.
I'd
never seen anything like it before.
That is an awesome site, and it's too bad kids won't know that site anymore.
It's just the cell phones.
It's not the same.
It's not even the same.
I think they should hand out lighters and take everybody's cell phones away, and then just enjoy the concert and put the lighters up.
There you go.
I'm so glad I said
we got there.
I've been trying forever.
Yay!
Who's this?
My name is Cara.
What was your first concert, Cara?
Aerosmith with opening band Guns N' Roses.
I remember when that tour happened and when it came to our area I wasn't able to go.
How was it?
Oh my god, it was fantastic.
Yeah.
But
the crazy thing is, is I didn't even know who Guns N' Roses was.
Well, I know the album came out in like 87 and it took a while for it to get going.
Yeah, because I saw them the summer of 88 because that's the year I graduate from high school.
Well, I just can't even imagine how cool that show would have been.
It was a great concert.
It was great.
So was there one moment?
that you remember from the show that really stands out.
Seeing Joe Perry wailing on his guitar, I can't even tell you how many amps high and how many amps fly.
Both those bands, it's just good rock and roll bands.
Yes.
Very cool, Kara.
I think your show is great in the morning and I listen to it every day when I go to work.
Good morning, Water.
Good
morning.
What was your first concert?
Heatstruck opened up for R.A.T.
It was December, I think, 87.
Yeah.
It was in Cedar Rapids.
Okay.
I'll never forget, there was a bomb strike.
There
was a bomb thread at your first concert cheap trick and rat.
Yes, we had to stand outside We did not get in in time to listen to cheap tricks because they had to Individually scan each one of us before going
in so what was the result did they find a bomb?
No
It
was a cheap trick probably probably
done by some rat That
really blows me up lady really blows
me up
Was
it the tour for their very first album, that Lost in Love album?
They wouldn't
let you go see Air Supply.
I wonder if you wanted to go see, like, Motley Crue or something like that.
Was he just kind of a bad dude, as far as your parents?
I'll bet you married him, didn't you?
You're now married to
him.
Did they ever warm up to your guy?
Yeah, they finally
did.
I'm sure they had no choice.
Well, yeah, pretty
much.
Yeah.
I'm sorry, mom and dad.
I'm lost in love.
There's no way I can not see this guy
anymore.
Because she's like eight.
Yeah.
Is she eight now?
No, no.
She's like 53 or something.
And she goes to see Shana enough as her first concert with Bowser and all that.
Wow!
Not everybody can say that, you know.
It's pretty amazing what he did after that accident.
He still plays very
well.
Yeah.
So if you had had a choice, which would you have gone to see as your first concert, Sean Hanna or Def Leppard?
I think Def Leppard.
I like Bowser and all that.
I was 14.
Frankie Valley in the fourth season at the Uni Dome.
It would have been great to see them back when they were a little younger.
It was.
So where did you see them?
You see them in Waterloo?
In Cedar Falls.
OK, Cedar Falls.
Because when they played Cedar Rapids, they'd have to call themselves the five seasons.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Well, you know, and we had a class of 42 and we went on our first class trip and we raised money to go to St.
Louis and we got to see BTO and it was wonderful.
But I remember the smoke and the lights and being all of us being farm kids.
Oh my gosh!
Yeah, who killed the nice smelling skunk?
You're very,
very...
Right.
BTO, do you remember what year that was?
Yes.
I graduated in 1978 and I graduated at 17 years old then.
You're one of them smart people.
Well, I don't know.
All right.
So thank
you very much for your show
today.
Hey, I'm doing pretty good there, Hawaiian.
How are you?
I am doing well.
Woohoo!
That's it.
I'll bet you've been to a couple of concerts in your time, huh?
My first one was the odds man.
Yeah?
Well, I think I know what your dad went through.
We brought our daughter who was 13 at the time to five seconds of summer this band and I think only 13 year old girls liked them because when we went in and they came on the stage It was the loudest most piercing sound I've ever heard I have to
admit I know what your dad was doing on
Friday morning talking about our first concerts.
I don't get it, but if you like it, okay, that's fine I
got to go to Des Moines
and it must have been a big deal.
It was huge
That's
a great double bill when when was that what year was that
leave it was around 84 85
How were they did it really turn you on to go to more live shows?
Oh, yeah, it was amazing
and you're talking 84 both these bands still just tour all the time
Well, and that's something I have noticed about a lot of the 80s bands
They were so good they don't have to put out new albums because the music is so good
And I was gonna say both aria and she tricked are from Illinois So they're good midwestern bands, and I think that's part of the reason why they tour all the time everybody says Midwesterners have the best work ethic, and I think we do
I agree because you and I both get up to the crack and on and I know
there's
a lot of
weekday mornings 5 30 to
10
