chpstr Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Wow, I know its been over 100 maybe 200. I've seen the good the bad and the ugly.

InsaneTim Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I've seen Weird Al and a bunch of Celtic bands. I missed out on U2 tickets AND Rolling Stones tickets. My life sucks that way. Does anyone know if ZZ Top is worth seeing anymore? They're coming in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Vicky Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I've only attended a handful of concerts. My first was Huey Lewis and the News when they played a local fair back in '97 or '98. Second was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with Steve Earle on the Anthology tour at what was then called The Sacramento Valley Ampitheater (now called The Sleep Train Ampitheater) Third was Creed with Collective Soul and Full Devil Jacket (got lost on the way and missed all of FDJ's set and most of Collective Soul's)on their Human Clay tour at Sacramento Valley Amp. Fourth was Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts at the Filmore in San Francisco for their Bastard Life or Clarity tour. (What an odd show. First they had an aboriginal dancer come out, then a roadie told some jokes, then Danielle Spencer- now Russell Crowe's wife- did a set, then the band played) Fifth was Fleetwood Mac at the Arco Arena in Sacramento for their Say You Will Tour. Sixth was Fleetwood Mac at the Oakland Arena for their Say You Will Tour Seventh was Fleetwood Mac at the Sleep Train Ampitheater for their Say You Will tour. I have eighth row tickets for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with The Black Crowes for Aug 24th at The Sleep Train and I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I saw Styx and Reo the other night....Styx rocked the place, they were really good, very energetic, and entertaining!...REO was also good, but they did not play as long as Styx did....Styx had a guest guitarist from the 60's come out and play with them...I think the last name was Picarro... does anyone know who this is? let me know thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielj Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Our town hosts an outdoor concert series every sunday night in the summers called Graville Green. I can't remember past 2002, but I'll list some notables Wave (not good but more known) Mir Matt Mays & El Torpedo Lenny Gallant Jimmy Rankin Great Big Sea Chilliwack And now I'll get to ones I payed money for Default (Calgary Stampede) not too bad a show Sum 41/Treble Charger -Sum 41 headlined, but treble charger was far better, still not good for anything but moshing. Australian Pink Floyd- Unbelieveable show, I would have thought it was them if I hadnt known better. They had everything down to mthe last note. And the stage was unbelieveable, at the end they blew up the giant . . . . . . . . . . . . . KANGAROO April Wine- Good show, ot in the same league as the aussies, a bit burnt out, and not so good to begin with, but they put a good show on. Joel Plaskett twice ACOUSTIC SHOW- In may, I was speechless, he captivated everyone in the audience, he alone, with an acoustic guitar and a microphone, entranced everyone there, I could not get over how he could do it. His openers were amazing too. ELECTRIC SHOW- 3 months later, the best show I have ever seen by far. Aussies had nothing on him. With his band the Emergency, it was perfect, anyone who has a chance to see him, do it. yeah not many eh, pity im 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I've seen so many concerts and at the time I would always say this is the best!! Well...that changes, I have seen some that just stick with me all the time... Bruce - 5 times Don Henley - Inside Job Tour lost it when he sang Wasted Time Southside Johnny - 3 times Tom Petty - 3 hours of standing and rockin'! Those ones pop into my head right away. But I love the others too. I can't imagine life without concerts!! :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplepuddle Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Kiss (3X) Tom Petty (good concert) Boston (Best sounding show yet) Heart (Always Fun) AC/DC (The coliseum shook, literally) Ceiling tiles were falling out. Prince (Sexy Mutha F**ka) Mellisa Etheridge (better in auditoriums) Tina Turner (Fun) The Stones Pink Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Purple those are some good concerts you've seen....some of the ones you've seen I've also seen in concert..Boston was good, Tom Petty and his band rocked, and I saw the Stones waaaaaaay back in '78 with Santana...that was the best.

Lucky Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Laurie, that would have been amazing. Los LOnely Boys with the Stones was pretty amazing. The little I knew of them, I thought they had an awfully Santana-ish sound(a little more bluesy maybe). Anyway, Sammy we are waiting......How the Heck were your concerts??? I want to compare notes!!

daslied Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Coldplay (twice) Cowboy Junkies Aimee Mann Jethro Tull Neil Young Allman Brothers (too many times) King's X (4 times) Paul McCartney James Taylor (also too many times) 10,000 Maniacs The Rolling Stones Radiohead (early on, in a small club - awesome!)

Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Plenty in my teens that I'm too embarassed to mention. Oh, come on. Don't wuss out on us. It's the embarrassing concerts that are the most fun to relive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I'll pass. OK, the first concert I ever went to was the "Monsters Of Rock" tour - Van Halen, Metallica, Scorpions, Dokken, Kingdom Come. I followed that with Bon Jovi/Skid Row and Poison/Lita Ford/Britny Fox. Now nobody will respect me...I was 13, and there were lots of boobies to be seen. Good excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I haven't been to many, but the ones I've been to have been great! Metallica (The Datsuns opened) KISS (Grinspoon and Machine Gun Fellatio opened) The Eagles And I am going to The Bangles on the 11th November.

edna Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Now nobody will respect me... Hey, I was a Trini Lopez fan when I was a kid. And I still love some of his old albums...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Here's my list, das. I'm waiting for your ridicule and disdain...do not fail me. * Rick Springfield was my first concert * I've seen Duran Duran in concert 6 times * I've seen Ready for the World 4 times * I saw Tesla and Firehouse on my first date with my husband * The last concert I saw was Poison and Cinderella Some other notables... KISS Metallica/Korn/Kid Rock Prince Elton John Billy Joel Phil Collins Public Enemy Erasure Keith Sweat Robert Plant There was a concert series that came to our town every year called "Sunset Sounds". I saw some great people there... Ella Fitzgerald Ray Charles Roberta Flack This isn't it, but I will never remember them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daslied Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 OK, but I'm feeling off my game. Asterisked ones, in sequence. 1. And you still went to another one after that? 2. Is your name "Ricky Stratton"? 3. That is most troubling. 4. Surely there was some disturbing nookie after that. 5. Nice bookend. Die. I saw Elton John, too. I'd love to see Prince, Ella and Ray. But at least 2 of those ain't gonna happen. And please tell me that Public Enemy and Phil Collins were the same show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 1. Rick Springfield helped guide the tender, young Miss Peaches through puberty, thank you very much. 2. The fact that you can reference Ricky Stratton is a testament to your own dorkiness. 3. I have no defense for that whatsoever. 4. The disturbing nookie is the best kind, don't you think? 5. I had the most fun at that one, I think. There was nothing but a sea of middle aged mullets. It was a breathtaking sight. I just realized Sammy never made fun of me for seeing Phil Collins. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
