What Kind of Concert Would You Attend?

[Hoosier]

Club's, Major and Minor Nation touring act's, I've done everything from an arena to a basement ( My friends threw the best house parties LOL )

I've lit Presidents ( I have a hand signed note of thanks from Bush), King's, Large name and small name act's in every genre, To car's and tractors to horse's and cow's.

I started to use the tag name clublights years ago when I was " just" working in nightclubs.

Sounds like some cool highlights to a job.

Pop Will Eat Itself

Good call. I had a genuine sample it, loop it, f*ck it, eat it Pepsi tshirt way back when. No idea where it is now.

Late last year I got to see my favorite band playing at the Bluebird. They're pretty popular in the UK, generally playing 5-10k sized venues (they've filled the 70,000 seat Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in their time too). Because they're relatively unknown over here tickets were something like $20. I got to meet a lot of ex-pats who'd driven and flown in from Nevada, New Mexico and Texas just to see them.

[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.

[jake]

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.

[DD977GM2]

I wish I could have attended a Pantera concert

[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!
