The Silverados at Paramount Northwest in Seattle concert was opened by the Skyboys. Skyboys was a popular local Seattle band.
This concert was co-sponsored by KJR Radio in Seattle, and the concert attendance was about 1,250 persons. Randy and the Silverados had been at The Bottom Line in New York a week earlier with Rosanne Cash. The band was extremely busy during February and March 1981 with one show after another.

“Even with so talented a team of co-writers as Eric Kaz and Wendy Waldman, Meisner’s songs often fell short. One delightful exception was ‘Hearts On Fire,’ Meisner’s most successful post-Eagles tune. It’s a catchy, clever song, but it sounds so much like the Eagles that it doesn’t establish Meisner as an individual talent.”
Seattle Daily Times (Seattle, WA) – Mar. 20, 1981
“Two cuts from his latest album on Epic records, ‘Deep Inside My Heart’ and ‘Hearts on Fire,’ have already become Top-40 hits.”
“Meisner writes most of his own music, with help from songwriters Eric Kaz and Wendy Waldman. Waldman also provides vocal back-up for many of Meisner’s songs.”
“The Sky Boys, Seattle’s most popular country rock band, opened Meisner’s show at 8 p.m.”
