Rookies have their place.
If you're drafting them late for depth, or because of their potential/situation, I understand.
But if you're drafting them as your starters, swinging for the fences, count me out.

Best concert I ever saw hands down was Queen. Everything, the lights, the music, the vibe - awesome.
Most fun I had at a concert was Cheap Trick outdoors, especially after the food fight broke out.
Van Halen and Rush were always quality shows.
One group I regret not seeing live in their heyday: Aerosmith

I like Queen too but never saw them live. Best concerts for me; 3 Dog Night (in their prime) and my all time favor group - The Eagles, seen them in the 70's, 80, 90's and 2000's.

My wife is going to Celine Dion in Montreal in August. She asked if I wanted to go, and after I stopped choking with laughter, I told her to wait until I'm done chewing next time! ......and no thanks.

Good stuff Lefty

all you boys down there certainly know Jimmy Buffet but up here forget about it
he does play Toronto once in a blue moon but Montreal forget it except once
i was the happiest dude in the old Forum as he opened for the
Eagles on the Hotel California tour
Eagles were brilliant
im actually considering picking a US city this yaer i may head down for Joe Walsh

unless some one has concert biz connections and can get me to Oldchella in Palm springs

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Well B, if you go to Coachella, I know one thing for sure as I lived there (well, La Quinta). It's gonna be hot.

Never been but Bandit and his brother have seen him several times down towards Miami. I think all of his are outdoors and according to them - there are few sober and not high, people ever seen. They went to one and it rained. One dude was so wiped out his buddies just put a paper bag over him and left. .....

Best concerts?
Both US Festivals (and honestly regret not staying for day 3 to see Bowie)
Various punk bands in the LA area
Black Flag somewhere in LA
Metallica with Suicidal
Metallica with Korn 4 times
Anthrax under an alias at a freaking night club

Oh yeah, GNR and Aerosmith. Highly recommend seeing Stevie Tyler, dude is amazing, even to a metal head/punk rock old dude like me.

Bands I never saw but really regret not seeing have to be Slayer, Tool, Slipknot.............

@Yellow Fuzzies
So I saw Metallica, Korn and KId Rock at Mile High Stadium in like 2000ish..........I love the city of Denver but for a concert, Mile High kinda sucked................what did you think?

I am 60 so I am older too. I grew up in the Aspen Valley in Colorado when things were a little loose. I have a pin that says "I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands". I went to a lot of concerts in the '70s- I can't remember all that I went to and some that I did go to are a little fuzzy. Some of the highlights:
-Crosby, Stills Nash and Young at Mile Hi Stadium general admission on the field, 20 feet from the stage.
-Rolling Stones
-Pink Floyd for their Dark side of the Moon concert
-Black Sabbath in 1973 when Ozzie was still coherent
-Eric Clapton
-Bob Dillon while he was still accustic
-Led Zeplin
-Stevie Ray Vaghn
-George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers
-REO Speedwagon
-ZZ Top
-Leon Russell, Johnny and Edgar Winter
-Jimmy Buffett

My all time favorite would have to be the 5th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 1977- 3 day event (this year will be 45th annual). Went with 10 guys with 4 wheel drive vehicles and we camped on the mountain overlooking the venue (can't do that anymore). Oh and by the way, I met my wife that weekend and we married 5 years later.

Eh, I don't remember half of them...........when I look back on it beside the music it was probably a waste of time

But the Anthrax thing??? With like 200 peeps? That was priceless...............

Seen those guys. wish I would have seen WASP, Nugent would be cool to see and never really liked Queensryche.
Funny thing is, here in little Pocatello, Idaho, we just had a venue built. Now, this isn't my fav music by far, but we've had Tesla, Def Leppard, Styx (who I actually saw in the late 90's) and we have Boston. Poison, Dokken, Ratt and Lita Ford coming this summer..........

growing up in the 80s I saw most of the Hair Metal bands.

Now I have gotten older and my wife drags me into Canada to see things like Reba or Trace Adkins.
