One good thing that came out of going to that Foreigner concert was my appreciation of architecture, especially Art Deco. The concert was at an old theater in downtown Davenport called the RKO. It was in pretty bad shape at the time, there were large chunks of plaster missing from the walls, it smelled of mildew and our row of seats wasn't even secured to the floor and the whole row rocked back and forth as people moved. I just remember not even paying attention to the concert or joints being passed around and just staring in amazement at this faded beauty of a building. I wasn't familiar with Art Deco at the time and the futuristic design fascinated me.
Luckily it's been completely restored (actually it's been fixed up twice since then) renamed the Adler Theater and is now one of the finest theaters in the midwest.
