Cheap Trick/Poison and Erasure were at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, near Dallas.
Howard Jones and Men Without Hats (forgot them) were at House of Blues in Dallas.

Phil Collins was in Houston, TX
Genesis was in Charlotte, NC
Steve Hackett in Portland, OR and Northampton, MA. Next will be St Louis, MO Squeeze/Hall & Oates in Fort Worth, TX.
Mark Knopfler in Dallas, TX and Phoenix, AZ
A-ha and Pet Shop Boys/New Order will be in Los Angeles, CA
Adam Ant and OMD will be in Dallas

Oh, I first saw A-ha in Nottingham, UK back in the 90's and Genesis in Leeds and London in 1992. I also saw Dire Straits at Woburn Abbey around that time too. Also had Lyle Lovett and Was not Was for warm ups.

Jean Michel Jarre was at Radio City Music Hall, NY, Irving, TX, Houston, TX (front row), and Sa Jose, CA.

As for Trans-Siberian Orchestra, I've tried to listen a few times but can't get into it, I'm afraid.
