She was at concerts where the California Hell's Angels were called in to restore law and order.

That might be the one where a fan was stabbed to death.

I love em, but still have them behind Metallica and Megadeth. I might even put Maiden and Sabbath above them.

Sabbath is above everything.

 

[beardown07]

And you wonder why you feel old now?

Not at all.

 

[The PK]

Met Steve Tyler twice, he isn't exactly good looking, but he's an actual approachable regular guy.
Liv is even better looking In person than in movies.

My pops-in law is from Boston.

Said he used to watch Aerosmith in dive bars, and even smoked a joint with Steven Tyler in bathroom of one.

This isn't a list of my favorite bands but each one of these concerts were special to me for various reasons.

1. Simon & Garfunkle Central Park 1980 - My first real concert. 12 years old and overwhelmed by the experience.
2. Leonard Cohen - Madison Square Garden 2009 - A friend had an extra ticket so I went. Incredible experience despite not really knowing a lot of his songs.
3. Ping Floyd Foxboro 1988 - Getting to see them was a special moment for me.
4. Roger Waters Worcester Center 1988 - Getting to see him in the same year was maybe even better.
5. Fun. 2012 Irving Plaza - Won tickets to a Google special event. A tremendous night in general for me as I was on a date and I had one of the best sushi dinners of my life.
6. The White Stripes/The Shins/Brendan Benson Coney Island 2005 - The White Stripes were incredible.
7. U2 Metlife 2010 - They were past their prime but they know how to put on a show.
8. The Black Keys Maxwells 2003 - Maxwells was a tiny concert hall in Hoboken. Saw the Black Keys before they were huge.
9. The Black Crows Central Park Summer Stage 2009 - Summer Stage was always a great place to see a show and the Black Crows nailed it.
10. Jack Johnson - PNC Park 2010 - Mellow but highly enjoyable. I would love to see him in a small venue.

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Not sure if it qualifies as "concerts" per se but, I've seen many punk rock & experimental bands at CBGB's & other clubs in NYC, & in various dive bars & clubs in the greater LA/ orange county area back in the day before some of them made it "big"......

Also saw numerous famous jazz trios/quartets/quintets etc. all over the world while in the service back in the late 70's.

We saw him a few years ago and like you I only knew a few of his songs. My wife is a huge fan. He was terrific. Nearly 80 and still a very compelling performer. My wife lost her job the next day which was rather devastating, so the show brings back all of those memories but it was a great concert.


I see there are a lot of metal heads here. Sabbath's 1st 2 were 2 of the first LPs I ever bought. I still listen to and like them, but lost interest in the genre shortly afterwards. An early GF said she partied with them after one of their shows... and that I probably didn't want to know much more. I've never been to a metal concert. I probably should just for the experience.

 

[Chasin' Utleys]

In no order, and maybe not even the best...I'm sure some faded memories will return.

The Who
Jethro Tull
Paul McCartney
Have seen Primus, like 9 times and have met the band twice.

Smoked pot with B-Real from Cypress Hill before a show.

Saw Tool on the side stage at Lollapollooza with maaaybe 200 other people.

Ozzy
Pantera w/Clutch
Clash of the Titans tour(Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax and an unknown Alice In Chains)

Alice In Chains at the aforementioned Lollapolooza, he drank two fifths of jack in under an hour. He was fucking smashed, and was making up up crude lyrics as he went.

Seen the Dead a few times.

The Pixies
Suicidal Tendencies
Metallica half a dozen times before they sucked bawls

Dylan and handful of times

pretty much every decent punk band you can shake a stick at, and a few shitty ones.

Saw White Zombie on Halloween night in Vegas on a grip of shrooms.

Saw Kurt Cobain jump into the crowd and beat the shit out of a fan that was allegedly raping a girl in the audience.

Have seen The Melvins prolly 20 times.

Hmmm?

Are we trading "gettin' danked up with celebrities" stories? I was seein' the Dead at the Rosemont Horizon and got baked with the guys from UB40 - the singer and two rastafarian guys, was given the ultimate compliment by them when they said my ganj was better'n theirs...

Outstanding list. To see these groups at their height must have been a thrill

Yes, but I missed so many because I was a poor army soldier and then a poor college student. Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Marshall Tucker, Moody Blues come to mind. Had a chance to see all of those and couldn't afford tickets.

 

[RaidaDave]

Shit, on the fence for Slipknot and LOG.....................don't want to be the oldest guy there..........

I've seen LOG twice and they were awesome!! Slipknot...was good once and not so good the second time.

 

[RaidaDave]

I saw Megadeth at The Municipal Auditorium in Nashville. Sound was terrible but Mustaine's voice was freaky good, like Geddy.

I saw Megadeth a couple of summers ago. They barely spoke, playing song after song after song...Loved it!!

I will never, as long as I live, NOT get goosebumps when listening to Angry Again, Sweating Bullets, Symphony and about 50 others with the volume at 10. Feeling that bass live is incredible. Marty was the guitar player when I saw them.
