1. A poor list
Amy Grant (yes Christian music first concert at age of 11) - Greek Ampitheater
Oingo Boingo (3 years in a row - Irvine Ampitheater - Halloween)
Lalapalooza (Irvine Ampitheater) Red Hot Chili Peppers was last act - Pearl Jam and lots more
U2 - Zoo Tour - Dodger Stadium
Hootie and the Blowfish (Unplugged - USC - Horseshoe)
Farm Aid (South Carolina)everyone from Hootie to Neil Young to Beach Boys to Willie Nelson
Indigo Girls (South Carolina - free concert because area high school would not allow Indigo Girls to play because of their sexual orientation so they did a free concert)
Train (South Carolina)

What a small list! But I enjoyed every one of them. Looking at the concerts I haven't paid to get into a concert since U2 and that was in 1992 or 1993.

2. Including bar bands and festivals?
Edited on Sun Jun-17-07 09:30 PM by Bluzmann57
No chance. It'll take up too much space. See, I'm a looooooooonnnnnnnngggggggggg time concert goer and plan to attend some concerts until I am no longer able to. But a few highlights
Lynyrd Skynyrd and Aerosmith-1973 same show, weird combo but GREAT!
Loggins and Messina- 1974. Reasons are personal but good show.
T-Rex-1975 or so. Light boom fell and Marc Bolan kept on jammin'
Tommy Bolin-1976. The next to last show of his life. Tragic and proof that heroin is bad shit.
Mahogany Rush-1975. Frankie Marino had a firecracker thrown at his feet. He stopped his jam in mid note, looked down, looked up, got a shit eating grin, gave a thumbs up, and played his ass off.
Neil Young-2004. Greendale Tour. I liked it.
Eric Clapton 1975- I was in jail the night before for drunken disorderly, criminal trespassing and indecent exposure (never mind why), got out, took care of a couple of things and went to the concert. The cop who hauled us in crashed a motorcycle against a fence because he was so enraged to see us free and smoking weed. Total asshole who later got fired for excessive force.
As I said, there are many many more. These are just a few of the highlights.
Someday, perhaps I'll list more. Blues Fest in less than two weeks. Robert Randolph and the Family Band! Can't wait! C'mon down.
One more I suppose I should add. Rolling Stones in 1989 in Ames Iowa. Proving that no matter how old you are, if you can rock, you can rock. And we met some roadies for the band who were not afraid to spend money, especially on the ladies. It seems that Mick Jagger gave each of them $500.00 in cash and told them to have fun.

3. Eek! There are actually people who "remember" the concerts they went to??
:hippie:

Those years passed by in a fog of being stoned or drunk....

Wierdly enough, the only concert I DO remember in full was a Grateful Dead concert - I think I bought some bad weed that never kicked in so I actually spent that concert lucid enough to recall it. Pretenders figure in there somewhere. So does Neil Young. I know I bought tickets to see Bruce Springsteen but I cannot for the life of me remember the concert. I have a Rolling Stones tee-shirt I got at the concert but I don't remember that one either. I went to see a ton of Australian bands when I lived there - the club scene was wild in Sydney in the 80s. I saw the Cranberries in Dublin. Shit, now I'm pissed I can't remember all of them.

I know I gave up concerts at least 20 years ago when I gave up the party life. Frankly, the concert scene is a bit of a hazy blur with bad sound systems, ear buzz from the volume, and a lot of drunk assholes. I don't remember going to concerts as a "great" time - it was just a "cool" thing to do and I can remember feeling a bit relieved when I decided to just stop going.

he witnessed Harrison holding his own (kind of) against a drunken and unruly audience.

That's all I can remember so far...

On edit:

Ooh! I forgot!! The Beach Boys, The Steve Miller Band & BB King (How could I have forgotten that??)

And I could swear I saw Creedence Clearwater!! :rofl:

I'm sure I'll keep remembering more and won't be able to edit! :(

I wish I was still on speaking terms with my ex because he'd remember all of them!!
He used to get free tickets to concerts through Wurlitzer's when he was working there. ;)

35. Did you see ELP in the disastrous orchestra tour?
I saw them in Toronto, kept bragging about the orchestra that was going to be there.

They'd fired them the previous week - couldn't afford them due to poor ticket sales.

Still a great concert.

43. Nah, but I'll list the ones I can remember.
Kiss
Van Halen
Heart
Journey
The Babies
Three Dog Night
Blue Oyster Cult
Alice Cooper
Conway Twitty
Dolly Parton
Fleetwood Mac
Barry Manilow
The Moody Blues (I think)
AC/DC
Styx
Rick Springfield
Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniel's Band, Cheap Trick, Jimmy Hall (former of Wet Willie), Leon Redbone (all one tremendous concert--except the Allman Brothers, who looked asleep, and sounded bored)
The Who
The Doobie Brothers
ZZ Top (boring)
Jimmy Buffet and the Neville Brothers
Mary-Chapin Carpenter
A lot of local and semi-local bands in Austin, like Robert Earl Keen or Ray Wiley Hubbard, but these were more like small gigs than concerts)

Saw some of them twice (Van Halen 3 times). There were a lot more in the early 80s, but I can't think of any more. Plus, I blank on some. I kind of remember seeing Blondie and the Talking Heads, but I'm not sure I did--may have been tv concerts.

47. LOL, you're kidding, right?
there's NOOOOOOO way I could possibly remember every concert I've attended, over the years. Mostly because I was in various states of intoxication. :D I've been to some good ones, though. Trust me.

Your list is very impressive, though. :thumbsup:
