All the Cconcerts you can ‘Remember’ Attending?


Despite my age of 24 I am a fan of music from older generations I have made it a goal to see and hear all the pioneers of the music history while I still can … Before artists stop performing ..touring ..or pass on to Rock and Roll Heaven. Another mantra of mine is to see as much variety as possible. While I have not had the opportunity to see any of these classic rockers in their prime I have been more than thankful to be their audience and have taken something away from every performance.

Making a list and seeing it on paper brought back great memories and emotions! What shows have you seen so far in your lifetime ?

My list: (in no specific order) (does not include many small club shows..too many to remember ..or not remember!)

Heart
Styx (7X)

I had the box filled, but the absolute best were Santana in 1970, The Allman Brothers (you gotta hear them live), Jackson Browne (on a night where he was pissed that a political candidate had published his play list, so he abandoned it and took audience requests for over two hours), Elton John, and the BSO at Tanglewood every year.

The most fun crowds were at Jummy Buffet and Grateful Dead.

The worst were CSN when they got together after Crosbys release to cash in on their nostalgic value without respecting their fans enough to rehearse first.

This was a fun exercise,thanks.
Man, I wish I could relive some of these concerts again, what a time!
