The Seeker Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 My very first concert I was a Freshman in High School in 1969. I saw Humble Pie and Grand Funk Railroad at Shea Stadium in New York. It was excellent. I'd give my right arm to see Humble Pie. And 1969! Steve Marriott at (one of) his peak(s)!

edna Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 My first concert was Santana, in 1971. Then I started going to every concert there was (Rory Gallagher, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor & Jack Bruce, lots of British bands I don´t even remember...) Then I started working in the rock scene and I couldn´t list all the concerts I was at for some 25 years, the best ones were, as I posted somewhere before, Psychedelic Furs, Dylan, Stranglers, Pretenders, Lou Reed, Violent Femmes, Eric Burdon, King Crimson, Brian Ferry... the Stones, sure... most boring: Michael Jackson, Madonna, U2, Dire Straits (yes, they´re boring live), Simple Minds... My last good concert was two years ago, David Byrne. I just go to see local bands these times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Young Alice was fantastic. We could've easily hung out. Humble Pie And Grand Funk were two of my favorites then. Still are come to think of it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 got home yesterday from electric picnic, the coolest music festival i've ever been to! it's a boutique festival, with a relatively small crowd and loads of really cool things to see and do. it's was so pretty with papier mache creations in all the trees, arts and crafts everywhere and gourmet food and drink. i had such a great time. even though the weather was a bit rubbish and i didn't get any sleep due to a sole jungle-music loving girl who had it blaring from 2-10am while she sat there alone with a can in her hand. if i had realised it was just one person listening to it i definitely would have switched it off! my boy and i are pretty softcore - we left after the music on sunday night and went to stay in a hotel, covered by his business expenses since he was working in the area on monday - i never enjoyed a hot bath, clean towels and a warm comfortable bed more in my life! i saw/heard bits and pieces or the entirety of the following acts! borken social scene david kitt gang of four belle and sebastian new order the frames graham coxon groove armada jerry fish duke special lisa hannigan (with damo, tomo and vyvienne) elbow the rapture saul williams yeah yeah yeahs pet shop boys basement jaxx there were so many more acts playing and we could have seen alot more but we took it easy rather than rushing around the place and enjoyed it thoroughly! yeah yeah yeahs were by far the highlight - they kisked serious a$$! basement jaxx were also s***hot and graham coxon rocked!

SoulGirl Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 i actually preferred them live to the album! but i can imagine it not transferring well to tv. they were pretty good. nothing madly exciting but good nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saw them do that one in Tokyo, didn't you, ya bastard? I just got that concert on bootleg DVD. Will I see you in it anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Songfisher, you must live near the Grand Ol' Opry or Branson.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songfisher Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Actually, no...I've never been to Branson or Nashville. I believe all of the concerts I've seen were in Portland, Oregon; Phoenix, AZ; or northern California; all places I've lived. By the way, I forgot Johnny Rodriguez, Slim Whitman, Little Jimmy Dickens, Buddy Alan, and Barbara Fairchild. And does it count if I saw Chris Montez lip-synch in person? No, I don't think it does...

miamisammy29 Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 I saw Ian Anderson for the second time on Wednesday night. He brought a whole orchestra with him, replete with clarinet players, cellists and violinists, and he did mostly Jethro Tull songs. We had seats dead center in the front rooow. At no time was I more than eight feet away from the man himself. I was so close, he nearly spit on me when he started blowing that flute. Until the other night, I never realized how much Ian Anderson resembles Marty Feldman. You give ol' Eyegore a beard, a flute, and one of those black stocking headwrap things, and you couldn't tell the two apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 OK then....just kidding anyway. See Ian whenever you can, he is a wonderful entertainer. I saw Tull during a tour called Tullivision and it was great. In the pouring rain at Shea Stadium. Warm up acts were Rory Gallagher and Robin Trower.
