What Kind of Concert Would You Attend?

[Irving]

Don't be like that and just not tell us who the band is.

[rondog]

I can remember when concert tickets were $5.50-$6.50-$7.50, depending on the seating. Oklahoma State Fairgrounds Arena in OKC. First concert I went to was The Doobie Brothers in '73 or '74.

[roberth]

Aldo Nova at The Rainbow was the first concert I went too.

I have seen Van Halen, Metallica, NIN, Ministry, Bowie, Curve, Def Leppard, Journey, Scorpions, Queensryche, Ratt. Prob missing a couple.

Nowadays you'd have to pay me to go to a show.

Don't be like that and just not tell us who the band is.

I'd be surprised if anyone had even heard of them in passing. They're called Manic Street Preachers.

[Irving]

Oh yeah, I listen to them all the time.


Of course I haven't heard of them.

[chrisguy]

jerrymrc: nice list. Particularly jealous of Floyd, Zep, and Parliament.


Apparently my music collection has some overlap with Hoosier's.

First one, early teens I think.... was.... nope, I can't admit it.

And no matter what anyone says, it definitely was NOT Huey Lewis, and my parents and little brother certainly weren't there.

Moving on, no particular order:

Mighty Mighty BossTones - went to school out thar for a year when they were just starting to get known.
Several shows, all small venue... incl. inside one of the campus dining halls!

Ha, I just remembered walking by the Spin Doctors at some multi-school thing in a convention center back then too, there were maybe 20-30 people watching...

Fishbone
Primus (x2?)
Bim Skala Bim
NIN x2 (3?)
PWEI (just cuz they opened for NIN really)
Rush x2

Almost forgot Nina Simone (here in Denver on her final tour - RIP)
Lots of live blues acts in misc Chicago places


Wow... I feel like I "never go to concerts", and I know there are more.
I might have seen Coolio...?

Remembered Pat Benetar. Saw her twice. Once because I really wanted to, and a second time because I bought the wifey two tickets so she could take her sis, but her sis couldn't make it. She's still very good.
Kenny Loggins

Eddie money (the only concert I ever walked out on)

His first tour was a good show. Back in the day I had connections so to speak. When he came to the Paramount in Portland he opened for Santana.

Got to meet the man and it happened to be his birthday. Long story short he liked to party with large amounts of nose candy and I got invited to the after show party. Think I went to bed about noon the next day....

Tell ya what, if you ever get a chance to see Johnny Winter, do it! His health is pretty bad, I fear he may not be around many more years. I think he's nearly blind now, if not completely, but still one helluva guitar player.
