Lol, one of my buddies used to be one of their road techs. He said they were really weird, and he was really uncomfortable around them.

Christ, billy!

Yeah, I'm freaking old... forgot to add that I saw Rush four times back in the day but didn't keep my ticket stub...

Frank's really into them and I went along... always saw them around Halloween in Boston-they're a little scary....

[Deacon Blues]

i've seen so many bands in such a short amount of time that its hard to keep track of em all.

so far, radiohead, muse and steely dan have been the best shows i've seen. the black keys were great too.

looking forward to seeing Air in LA soon. its at the walt disney too which should be amazing.


i saw van halen on their last tour with sammy and i have to say it sucked.

[billyp77]

Yeah, my buddy said that they claimed to be vampires, and they kept bottles filled with blood. He said one time they asked him to go get some, and Peter Steele asked him why he was afraid of him. He told him, "Why are you afraid of me, I won't bite you".

Lots, but the 3 that stick out are Pink Floyd in the Royal Albert Hall, Seasick Steve and the 2000 Reading festival.

At Reading we mostly just camped out the main stage, and saw Oasis, Muse, QOTSA, the Foo's, Pulp, Beck, the Stereophonics, Rage Against the Machine, Placebo, Blink and best of all At the Drive in. Was the first and best festival I've ever been to.

[basshole]

Too much letters for me.
Wouldn't this thread be more interesting if we listed say, our top 3 concerts of all time?
Or theme based like "Who saw The Who and where and what year?"

[bclaire]

I should have added that I saw the New York Dolls in 1975 and the recent Dolls reunited. The 1975 show was when they were on their way down- using backline provided by whatever opener and at a Chinese restaurant. We were right up front- it was an awesome show! PA blew out three times- first time they waited- second time they launched into the Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse theme song- third time they left the stage. We yelled "Killer.... do a solo!" and he stopped and turned back but only got a couple of steps before they yanked him offstage!

That's a pretty awesome pairing for a show - twice no less. I wonder which set of brothers hate each other more.

I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd twice in the 1990's
