My family started me early with folk music at festivals. The first I can actually remember the name of is Reilly & Maloney. Fairground crap like Weird Al. Then I went astray...
Motley Crew (It was $15, why not. My friend fell asleep on my shoulder. Good times.)
Melvins
Tool (Couple times. First time great, second time sucked)
Veruca Salt
Clutch (Multiple times, cuz they're awesome)
Soulfly, HED(pe), dayinthelife and StaticX (Strangeland Tour. I went for Snot, but they didn't show. Soulfly was great though.)
Agents of Oblivion (Awesome side project of Dax Riggs from Acid Bath)
Insane Clown Posse (Roughest concert I've been to. Those 16 year old Juggalos be crazy! I left torn, bruised, and sticky.)
Kidney Thieves (Terrible live...)
Tapping the Vein
Type O Negative (Walked out)
Sky Cries Mary (Awesome)

Roach was no slouch, but I'm partial to Buddy Rich -- he led a hard swinging big band with top notch soloists. He had excellent arrangers working for him too. Good stuff.
I won't bore everyone with all the jazz and opera stars I've seen. Top of the list, respectively, would be Herbie Hancock and Stephanie Blythe as Aida (I performed on stage with her). I've also met two famous American composers in person -- John Adams and Philip Glass. I have pictures of Glass that I'll be developing soon...
Among the best rock shows -- I saw Paul Simon, twice, when he was touring Rhythm of the Saints, and once with what's his name.
I also saw Skynyrd when they played LSU (Baton Rouge) in 1991. It was their first show since the plane crash fifteen or so years earlier that claimed half the band. They were en route to Baton Rouge, so that's where they kicked off this reunion tour. Very cool in that they not only honored tickets from the ill-fated show that never took place, but also reserved the front row for these people. I'm not a huge Skynyrd fan, but I went with a couple friends who wanted to go, and it was a damn good time.

Honestly TOO many to even recall..
I used to work in the Merchandise industry (selling t-shirts and other trinkets at shows) and so i've seen about 75% of the bands that have come through Seattle and other at the Gorge Amphitheater for the past 2.5 years. A lot of big bands and a lot of smaller guys too. Dreadful industry depending on which side you work. But it was primarily fun whilst i was apart of it.

Most concerts I've seen are related to the seventies and early eighties:
Genesis
Marillion
Phil Collins
Pink Floyd
The concerts I attend to nowadays are concerts of The Musical Box, a Genesis tribute band, playing the early seventh concerts of Genesis: Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb lies down on Broadway and Trick of the Tail. |

Welcome to DPC  blueraider
I see you found one of the older threads that probably needs to be updated with some fresh music names.
I've seen a few concerts too, starting in the 60's with Chuck Berry & the Strawberry Alarm Clock, then on to Deep Purple ect.

Listen My children have seen more than most of YOU!
I am 62 years old and a Nashville native all of my life except for a time in Hawaii at the end of the war.
Now I could start with my first, which would be Janis Joplin in Knoxville and was the only time I saw ANYONE drink a 1/5 of liquor onstage and get better! YES Southern Comfort.
I mean HUNDREDS, it is my wife of 42 years and my HOBBY! YES we have all the stUbs and they have been seen by at least one Former Vice-President!
So instead of that list let me list the best years and the last ones seen so far with my grandson!
1972 ROLLING STONES Dragon stage with the counterfeit ticket fiasco.
1972 LED ZEPPELIN ATLANTA (of course the windowpane I was on kinda --well enhanced the show?!!!)
1977 THE EAGLES
1977 FLEETWOOD MAC THE week RUMORS goes number one!
GARTH BROOKS THE YOUNG ONE oh no my family said no we ain't going to see no country crap, but I said--I smell something about this guy? well they have seen him since twice but not as good as that one I saw!!!
NOVEMBER 8TH 1979 THE EAGLES 2ND ROW THE LONG RUN Its a long juicy story at the after party!
1984 BRUUUUCE 1st time
Paul 2 times and oh hell just anyone
SO in the last 2 or no more than 10 years
Last was NICKELBACK ---WHO BTW drank the most onstage ever since I saw Janis! Oh hell yes I HATE NICKELBACK!!! I HATE EVERY DAMN NO GOOD MINUTE I AM NOT WITH NICKELBACK TO BE EXACT! ok OKOKOK I WILL SEE THEM AGAIN!
THE STONES NEXT ON JUNE 17TH
BEFORE NICKELBACK WAS LINDSAY STERLING, FLEETWOOD MAC--SHINEDOWN, OH OH NEXT IS PARAMORE BEFORE THE STONES OOPS THEY LIVE HERE TOO! 3 DOORS DOWN--THEORY OF A DEADMAN.
BON JOVI 5 TIMES AND I WILL GO SEE BON JOVI ANYTIME ANYWHERE OVER ANYONE I HAVE EVER SEEN---OH HELL YES I WILL!
So the real question is who is it that I missed seeing and would go see over Bon Jovi or anyone because I want to see them very bad
AC/DC--AC/DC---AC/DC-- oh i missed them as punishment from the rock and roll gods one year and it HURT TOO!!!
LIVE EARTH 7/7/07 COUNT?
LISTEN I DID US ALL A FAVOR BY NOT LISTING ALL OF THEM OK!
1 thing I mean to do is not get stuck in the 60's 70's or any year.
I loved Shinedown, Nback, there are plenty of new acts i will see and the good LORD willing i will die at a concert. |
