Fred Coury would introduce Steven to his to-be-wife, Cheryl Lynn Swiderski, at this gig [The News Journal, June 1989].

When Axl was in Philadelphia for the NBA finals in 2001, he ran into the promoter of this show:

The Spokesman Review, June 16, 2001:

1987.10.20 - Trocadero, Philadelphia, USA Notes-14
Now we know what Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose does when he’s not rocking. He feasts his eyes on the Food Network. That’s where he first learned about Philadelphia’s Buddakan, or so he told restaurant owner Stephen Starr. Rose was dining at the upscale Asian eatery with two companions Wednesday before the Sixers-Lakers basketball game. When Starr approached to say hello, the hard rock hero recognized him. That’s because before becoming one of Philly’s restaurant mavens, Starr worked as a music promoter. “I promoted their show at the Trocadero about 10 years ago, and then another one at the Spectrum.” (Can somebody hum “Thanks for the Memories?”)

Fred Coury would later discuss this show:

[...] I loved this band since the first time I listened to them and I had a tendency to share their music with everyone around me. These guys became my friends very quickly. I had just met them once; two weeks later, it was my birthday and they were playing in Philadelphia. They interrupted their show and asked me to go up on stage. Actually, the exact words were, ‘Is Fred Coury here? You’d better get your ass on stage or this show isn't gonna last long.’ So I walked out of the crowd and climbed on stage, and there was a big cake. As you can guess, I slipped and fell all over it. It was fun and we became friends right away for many reasons.


And it checks out, according to Wikipedia, Coury was born on October 20, 1967.
