Billy Squier - All Night Long Tour '09

One of the seminal rock stars of the 80's, whose career dwindled much too soon, on his own summer tour. This is one I never thought would happen.

Billy Squier first started performing in the late 60's, and toiled through a lot of different bands, including two albums with Piper, before finding success as a solo artist. From 1979 to 1993, Squier released eight albums, three of which found great sales success; Don't Say No (1981), Emotions in Motion (1982), and Signs of Life (1984). Unfortunately, these three albums, or the singles from them, are the only ones that most people will remember.

Rumor has it that after Billy's last studio album, Tell The Truth (1993), failed to chart due to what he believed was the record label ignoring the album, he left the music business. Some feared is was for good, but it's hard to keep a good rock star down.

After a couple of tours as part of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, Squier has grabbed a fine back up band and hit the road. As he says on billysquier.com, "I had so much fun playing with Ringo and the All-Starrs the past few years that it made me feel like dusting off the entire repertoire and doing it all one more time."

So if your a long time fan, or new to the great 80's rock scene, this is a show not to miss.
