MWC, That's a great list and how did you find time for other bands with all those Dead shows I want you to name all the venues. Just kidding, you probably have that in your word doc. and I am sure it spans quite a large area. I Would have loved to have seen The Band. Good stuff

gers, great bands and Maiden and Priest are great shows to have seen multiple times. Got to see Priest but, never did get a chance to see Maiden. A friend of mine saw them several times also.

A number of these I have seen multiple times Stones (3) The Clash (2) Rush (5) Aerosmith (2).

Some of the crazy times were as follows: the 70's and huge concerts at Anaheim Stadium. Cal Jam 2 with me and more than 300,000 others in Ontario 1978. The US Festivals of the 80's.

I am very glad I was able to see before they left us.

Frank Zappa in San Bernadino, Ca.

The Ramones in Garden Grove, Ca. at a very small nightclub.

The Clash both Hollywood and LA Coliseum.

A couple of bands I missed and wish I would have seen are Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.

I would love to see other peoples lists and comments

In no paticular order the list of bands I have seen live:

Rolling Stones Bruce Springsteen U2 Black Sabbath

Eric Clapton Frank Zappa AC DC Fleetwood Mac The Clash

David Bowie Paul McCartney The Grateful Dead Bob Dylan

Elvis Costello Pat Benatar The Allaman Brothers Metallica

Ted Nugent The Who Cheap Trick Aerosmith Heart Go Go's

Iggy Pop The Beach Boys Kansas Boston ELO Foghat

Van Halen Judas Priest Devo X Pat Travers Tom Petty

Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Molly Hatchet 10 Years Later

Elton John BB King The Pretendars J Geils Stray Cats

The Cars The Tubes Talking Heads Men at Work Blackfoot

ZZ Top Missing Persons Berlin B-52's Rush Journey

REO Speedwagon Blue Oyster Cult Peter Frampton

Let me know yours...

Great lists by all.

I am able to add to my list I attended some shows this year some repeats and some I never saw previous.

I attended The Who (3rd time) in January Quadraphenia Tour. I love that record and was so glad I got to see it live.

Black Sabbath (3rd time) in August. They have a new record and it is as good as some of their early work. Ozzy is getting on in years still quite the showman.

Went to an 80's concert in September with Blondie, Adam Ant, Rick Springfield, Psychedelic Furs, Sugarhill Gang The Fixx and Berlin. Out of those I had only seen Berlin before so all the rest were first time shows.

Any new shows for anyone else?

Great lists by all and you can really see generally, what kind of music each of us gravitated to but I was very openminded and here are a few I can't believe others have not seen also: May have been too stoned to remember

Heart

George Thorogood and the DELAWARE Destroyers(at least 10x)

Moody Blues

Jimmy Buffet(only once

)

Asia

Peter Gabriel

Rainbow (with Ritchie Blackmore, might have been w, Ronnie James Dio?) All I remember from that show is a friend getting busted for selling "boomers"

The Guess Who(2)

Grand Funk Railroad(2)

Peter Tosh

Eddie Money

Boston(3rd Stage tour) headlined a TEXAS JAM Festival with several heavy metal bands mentioned previously from other posters. We were trippin' so hard we didn't go into the show until BOSTON came on @800 Show started at 12

Neil Young @ Farm Aid... OMG, I have NEVER seen more splifta being passed around @ any concert. Believe it or not it was at the Old Texas Stadium

Those farmers really know how to grow

Bobby and the Midnights(bob weir) "That's right the Women are smarter" Billy Cobham(?.) some great drummer was with him that tour

Bonnie Raitt

Little River Band

Pure Prairie League .."Amy"

Willie Nelson(3)

David Byrne solo

Talking Heads with Tina Weymouth, they even played a couple of Tom Tom Club songs

Doobie Brothers..1st show ever at Red Rocks

Pat Travers "Boom, boom, out go the lights"

Rory Gallagher..best friend loved him so much names his daughter Rory

Jefferson Starship not Airplane

Head East ..."has there been any reason to forget about me"

Pointer Sisters....last Labor day... that ole girl Ruthie can still sing

Simon and Garfunkel..absolutely best acoustical show I ever heard even in a stadium. fantastic songlist that night

And one, actually 2) other events that we both attended and I'll ramble about that next time.

In the L2 months I've seen Roger Waters "The Wall", Stone Temple Pilots (Weiland is back with them), & this last Saturday night saw Joe Satriani.

Some I've seen not listed here...........Led Zeppelin, Supertramp, Alice Cooper, Queensryche, Toto, Robin Trower, Heart, Nazareth, Thin Lizzy, Gordon Lightfoot...........& Aussie Pink Floyd, which was very good.

Good thread..........fun to try to recall all the shows from the past.

No way I can compete with a lot of you guys

But........in the last year or so I've seen Chickenfoot (excellent), Tragically Hip (also excellent), & Sammy Hagar (40 year tour).

I like the WRECKEDEM listed an Iron Maiden show as "first time I toked" .

That reminds me of my first time that I toked it was hiding in a bush at the end of a cul-de-sac on the street I lived on. One of my friends straight older brother walked by as we were doing this. Lucky he was cool enough not to say anything to anyone.

Does this include bands I've seen at festivals like Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo?

If so I've seen just about everyone I've ever wanted to see, except The Rolling Stones.

I've seen hundreds. Most are vague memories of the past. Lately, the 2 best I've seen are Incubus and Rise Against.

Best concert from yesteryear ? Oddly enough, probably Rainbow from the Straight Between the Eyes tour. Incredible musicians. Here's a good live one that opened the show:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFCKLq0CHdM

I had the pleasure of watching the Clash at the old Cape Cod Coliseum around the same time period. Jimmy Buffett was always great (saw him many times) and Santana was awesome.

Worst concert from yesteryear? Easily Foreigner. Vocalist Lou Gramm sounded like he was singing through a distorted bullhorn and the whole band just seemed off key all night. Very bad.

yes. in fact i had a hibachi dinner with Paul and Gene and their families. Gene also had a pick throwing competition and Paul judged a belly flop contest. While access to the band was limited, they were "around". everyone on the boat got their photos taken with the band and an autographed poster. a good scene

Was Gene wearing a kippah and working the cash register too?

He will do anything to earn a dollar. It's embarrassing, no?

He was actually quite pleasant. I learned that he does not like guacamole. He also bought the meals for the Australian couple sitting between us.
As a long time fan, it is a bit embarrassing. He is such a shill. However, he does do a lot of good outside the band. He is very involved with Wounded Warriors and sponsors a lot of children (not his) overseas.
