Batman Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I've only been to one concert, and that was Carlos Santana. I don't really listen to his music much, but there's no denying he's one of the best guitarists. It was pretty cool, he played all the classics, and hardly anything new. Also, there was a good 20 minute drum solo. I would like to go to more concerts, but most of my favorite bands have either dead members, or incredibly high ticket prices, or scalpers that take all the tickets, and then sell them for a higher price. I might go to a White Stripes concert this year though. I'm pretty sure they're still alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I've only been to one concert, and that was Carlos Santana. Santana was my first concert at 17, in 1973. I already posted a list about how many concerts I attended, and there´s too much to list again. I might have seen 1500,more or less. RonJon, you have a good memory! And great music background!

edna Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I found an enveloppe with old backstages yesterday, it was in the bottom of a suitcase... Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Elton John, U2, Ultravox, REM... I can´t even remember these concerts!! I guess that my real concerts were those I attended as part of the audience, even if I had free tickets, but not as a journalist... then you can see and listen, when you´re there with the "know-it-alls" you´re always at the bar and don´t even pay attention to what´s on stage. I still would love to see Neil Young live... and Bob Seger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 That´s not being a bit of a freak, it´s just normal. I had a house full of magazines, reviews, souvenirs, etc. I had to throw 90% of it when I moved as I didn´t have room for that much nostalgia, but I still have some stuff.

my_nothing Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 You're probably right there. I note you've seen Pulp live though, saw them at Reading festival where they were fantastic but haven't actually been to a Pulp concert, hopefully I will in the future after their 'sabatical'. Superb band. When did you see them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavePinkFloydFan Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I've seen a LOT of concerts. Nirvana, Rush, Primus, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Soundgarden, Tool, White Zombie, Chili Peppers, Metallica... Seen many of these bands many times, and many more... too many to list. But none compared to Pink Floyd... I saw them 2 times on the 94 Division Bell tour, and the greatness of those shows have never been surpassed, until Saturday. I was in Hyde Park, and I witnessed the greatness firsthand, and without commercial interruption... I am one lucky MFer... Pink Floyd is the greatest band ever and the fact that I saw them, complete again, that I can die a happy man, well, it makes it easy to deal with being broke and having maxxed credit cards.

swlabr Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 The first concert I attended was The Lovin' Spoonful. I was about 11 or 12 and my parents took me. They had the good etiquitte not to sit with me! LOL But I was mortified that my Daddy actually liked it! So to continue not in strict chronological order my memory not being what it once was (anyone else old enough to remember the smoke filled arenas?) Lovin' Spoonful The Byrds The Standells Paul Revere and the Raiders Gary Puckett and the Union Gap The Association The Monkees (x2 - twenty years apart) ZZ Top x3 Santana x3 The Doobie Brothers T Rex Wet Willie Head East Moody Blues (AWESOME) Joe Walsh James Gang Yes Robin Trower Grateful Dead - the were drunk/wasted - worst concert I have ever seen Electric Light Orchestra Joe Cocker Bad Company Commander Cody Asleep at the Wheel Paul McCartney The Rolling Stones Earth, Wind and Fire Chicago Eric Clapton Bob Dylan with The Band Marshall Tucker Band James Gang I am sure I left out many. In the 70's there was a great concert in Houston almost every weekend and tickets were cheap in those days. We paid over $100/ticket the last time we saw the Stones in 2003 and worth every penny! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipit Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Okay should I start from my first concert? The Osmonds (I'm showing my age) David Cassidy (I was so in love) Kansas ( Don't remember much of that one) Def Leppard ( At least twice) Yes ( They are great!) I think I saw them twice Lynard Skynard (pretty crazy) Rod Stewart ( Saw him probably at least 8 times. He is a showman.) Saw a Rod Stewart impersonator Rob Hanna he was really good. George Michael Michael Bolton ( I was in my mellow faze. My boyfriend fell asleep Smokey Robinson ( My boyfriend was mad he only likes the song "Tears of a Clown" and he didn't sing it) New Kids On The Block (took my daughter to see them it was her first concert Hootie and the Blowfish (2) Live (They were great) Puddle Of Mudd (kind of disapointing lead singer seemed out of it.) They played with Nickleback they were good. No Doubt with Blink 182 Train Lifehouse Default and Goo Goo Dolls Huey Lewis and the News( they were at our State Fair last year. They are good.) I'm sure there are more just can't think right now. We have been getting alot of good bands at our State Fair lately. Also one of the radio stations here has a thing every year on the river and they have at least 5 bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
