Re: Rock Bands / Concerts You Seen

Classic ones: Saw Elton John in '74, on the Good By Yellow Brick Road tour, in LA at the Forum; he opened in a big yellow bird costume, on the piano, playing Funeral for a Friend; Pink Floyd, on the Dark Side of the Moon Tour, the Forum, 1973; Jethro Tull in '73 (the year Thick as a Brick came out); Eric Clapton in '74 in L.A. Really wish I saw (in that time period) the Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Bros, and The Marshall Tucker Band. If only you could go back in time...

never was one to look for a concert, always dragged into it..

been to hollywood bowl, the greek, etc. neat places to visit at least once..

best shows though were not rock, tribute to henry mancini, nutcracker, cirque du soleil, etc. much more entertaining to me..

tailgating at stones concert in LA and this smoking hot photographer from rolling stone magazine stopped by for couple of drinks.. didn't go over very well with the girlfriend at the time, oops..

in a van full of sailors heading to van halen in OC, 300lb boiler tech killed a bottle of tequila.. cheered on not to puke, made it the parking lot but had to uhumm, relieve himself.. just when two mounted OC deputies rode up on horses, LoL.. they took one look at the USS ***** on the van and told us to get lost

nowadays it's just Sesame Street and Disney on Ice
Ha!Ha!,I forgot about Jimmy Buffett! He's from right here where I live.(we went to the same bars when younger.Roy's Bar to be exact.
Seen him a few times.
Mike.

Re: Rock Bands / Concerts You Seen

I've seen so many bands I've lost count. Somewhere I've kept the ticket stubs I didn't lose.

Some of the memorable ones:

Led Zeppelin @ Madison Square gardens. I think the tickets were less than $8

Pink Floyd (x2)- animals, the wall

Van Halen opening for Black Sabbath. Ozzy killed it (in a good way)

AC-DC opening for Journey. What a strange mix that was. Bon Scott and Angus were nuts. The other act a snooze.

REO Speedwagon - sat front row. What a mistake that was. Left most of my hearing in that building

Frank Zappa - had a full orchestra on stage

Alice Cooper - great visuals

Stevie Ray Vaughn (x10) awesome, awesome guitarist.

Supertramp, ELO, Foghat, Peter Frampton, Zappa, Rush, Genesis, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, Foreigner, The Cars, Yes, UFO, ZZ TOp, the Who, CSN, Rod Stewart and dozens of other bands during the '70s and '80's

Re: Rock Bands / Concerts You Seen

First concert was in July, 1985, in Texarkana......Dokken and Loverboy. After then, I tried to make all the Hair Metal concerts around Little Rock and Shreveport.
Cinderella
David Lee Roth
Great White
Whitesnake
Monsters of Rock in Memphis: Kingdom Come, Dokken, Scorpions, Metallica, Van Halen
Ratt
Tesla
Kix
Def Leppard
Britney Fox
Bullet Boys

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few of those concerts.....my mind wasn't really too clear after most of them. After I got married and calmed down, I saw some Country concerts with my wife.
Patty Loveless
Tracy Lawrence (from Arkansas)
Jason Aldean
Eric Church
Sarah Buxton
Trace Adkins
Martina McBride
Thomas Rhett
Travis Tritt

My all time best 80s concert was Great White when they opened up for Whitesnake. They were much better than Whitesnake! My best Country concert was Travis Tritt. That guy is a performer, period! He sang for two hours and was very friendly and personable.

Too many to list. This is the last survivor of a large collection taped to my bedroom wall at my parents' house back in the day.

Re: Rock Bands / Concerts You Seen

I was only 15 when I saw them at Fillmore East with my oldest sister and her friends. She was dating a DJ from WHFS in Bethesda, MD. Turned my head around!

Re: Rock Bands / Concerts You Seen

.
This thread is great! So many memories being dredged up. My prime concert going days were circa 1983 through 1989 with a few sprinkled in later. Just about any rock band that came through, we went to see them. Many are listed here, maybe all of them! Some notables....

Best live reproduction of studio recorded material: Cinderella
Best show: Pink Floyd sans Roger Waters
My First concert: Accept opening for Bryan Adams
Best Drums: Motley Crew ( upside down over top of floor audience )
Most vulgar: Wasp
Where I was in AWE: Kiss --full makeup
Show I never got to see but wish I could have: Stevie Ray Vaughan

EDIT: Some of the best times of all were had in the parking lot prior to the opening act. Back then, anything and everything was OK once your party was confined within the gates of the venue. We often would plan our trips to include a couple hours of tailgating time!
