Diary of a Madman, and Randy Rhoads.

Yes 90125, because I went to see Terri Nunn and Berlin open for them, and they failed to show, so Yes played a Bugs Bunny cartoon while they refitted the stage and then came out an hour early, played an hour late.

Pink Floyd Division Bell, because Pink Floyd.

Dred Zeppelin, the most fun I've ever had at a concert.

I've seen many, many....

ZZ Top Worldwide Texas Tour.

Also, the first concert i ever went to.  Robin Trower opened for Foghat. I've seen Robin Trower at least another dozen times since then.

There's been so many.

Best single concert out of a ton of them, Prince.
His musicians included Candy Dulfer and Maceo Parker.

This was 2003-2004 or so.  That little man could play the guitar like very few others.   I’ve seen most of
My Guitar heroes, and that’s the single best concert for me.

Well I’m an older guy but Elton John opening Altel Arena in Little Rock in the late 90’s. Just him and his piano filled that 10k arena up with sound. Power cable for the piano looked to be about 2” diameter.
Also, Rolling Stones several years later at same venue. Told the wife whatever Jagger is taking I want some - his energy was off the charts

Either Oct or Nov 1991 Ozzy no more tears tour at Golden Hall in San Diego. Smaller venue. Latter half of the show he motioned for everyone to get closer to the stage and it was total pandemonium. I think I was about 10 feet from him at the stage and it was fuckin crazy.

I’ve had a few, but the most memorable, probably because it became a movie, was the last two dates on the U2 Joshua Tree tour. Dec 19-20, 1987, Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe AZ.

Five friends and I flew from LA to see them. Tickets were $5, they wanted it sold out.

BB King opened both nights and was amazing. U2 were at their best, too. It was my sixth and seventh time seeing them, five on the Joshua Tree tour alone, and these two were the best.

It was an amazing trip, and the concerts became the colour half of the movie ‘Rattle and Hum.’
Still have the ticket stubs, program and seriously faded shirt in a box of my crap.

SoCal was Mecca for great concerts.
Was almost going to say Oingo Boingo on Halloween 1987 at Irvine Meadows. Still one of my favorites, but the whole trip for U2 was bigger.

The next summer saw Depesche Mode at the Rose Bowl, Genesis on the eleventh row at Dodger Stadium, and so many others.

Those were the good old days.

I'll start.  July 21, 1986.  Metallica opened for Ozzy on the Ultimate Sin tour.  This was only a few months before Metallica bassist Cliff Burton was killed in a rollover bus accident in Sweden.    

Tickets were $11.  Metallica was just getting really popular after releasing the Master of Puppets album.  We were sitting on the lawn at Pine Knob in Clarkston Mi.  During Metallica's set the fans down front started getting really rowdy and were kicking over seats that were bolted down to concrete.  

Metallica stopped playing and was almost begging the crowd to calm down. Ozzy came out on stage and was telling the fans to fucking calm down or he wasn't going to play.  Classic night.  And, I was hammered.  What a night.

US Festival May 29th 1983 , it was day three, "heavy metal"....Triumph, Halen, Priest, Ozzy....
View Quote


The best set Priest ever performed.  I've heard Unleashed in the East, and it doesn't come close, IMHO.

I will give Rammstein a lot of credit.  Their performance and staging on this latest tour have been absolutely amazing.  Music that feels like some of you have described NHRA races.  And ohhhh, do they like fire...

Leonard Cohen's last tour was pretty incredible, if laden with unintentional comedy---it's the only concert where the men's room line moved as slow/slower than the ladies'.

Chuck Prophet playing in a bar in Houston, probably closer to us than you are to your TV, during the !Let Freedom Ring! tour, was nifty.  Really patient guy with the fans too.

The Cure, July 4, 1994 on the Wish Tour, actually looked like they gave a shit, and as guitar-laden as they've ever sounded.  Great versions of "Cut", "Let's Go To Bed", and "A Night Like This."

Horton Heat recently in San Antonio was a great show.  A pit formed, and you could almost see a tear of pride form in Jim Heath's eye...  Highly recommended.

Seeing Clutch and Helmet this Thursday.  I'll let you all know how it went.

Missed the show.  The night manager got to go, damn it.  I got to run the hotel in his place.  The band (but not Prince) were staying with us.  Candy Dulfer is the nicest lady.  She squeeed about as hard about getting to play with Maceo, as I did getting her to sign my CD.

Type O Negative at WOW hall in Eugene Oregon with Drain STH. It was February 21, 1997 and it was during the October Rust tour. They also played their hits from the previous album. Sister Machine Gun was a no show as they normally were. WOW hall is not that big so you are really close to the bad. Peter Steele was pretty cool on stage and told a few outlandish stories in between some of the songs. Who knows if they were real or not.

My favorite, though, is probably Maiden '85 World Slavery tour. I had seen them before, but the elaborate set of the Slavery Tour blew every concert, before and after, away. Of course, the music was phenomenal too. It's the only concert I ever remember dreaming about years afterwards.

At 66, I've kind of aged out of going to concerts.

My Type 2 diabetes makes me thirsty all the time. And if I drink, I have to pee, and my bladder now has a two-minute time limit.

Last six concerts have been from the front row of the pit, because I discovered that is the only way to see a concert. Not going to pee my pants in front of Lzzy Hale.

I've held Chino Moreno aloft in the pit. First song in, first scream of the show he jumps in the crowd and hung out while we held him for what seemed like half a song.

I've been thrown into the pit by Josh Scoggin of the band '68 when he fronted Norma Jean

I have friends in Whitechapel, getting to chill backstage is cool

Roger Waters, aside his TDS, was absolutely amazing sound and show wise

Metallica nearly front row a few years back was crazy

Getting free tickets to see Alison Kraus, finding out said tickets were primo, coming into the show to find out her band were playing songs from Oh Brother Where Art Thou to open, yea that's the stuff

Meeting Nickel Creek on their first tour at a tiny outdoor venue, they've blown me away every time I've seen them
