Music - Live shows you have seen

when did you see them?

I NEED to see Gogol's Bordello. And will

I forgot smaller ones like Alex Chilton, Ron Sexmith, Martin Sexton, Jonathatn Richman, Son Volt, Ryan Montbleu...lotsa music in Chapel Hill, can't even remember all the bands that came through. I probably even saw LionTamerX and didn't know it.

I saw The Who at The Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia MD in probably '71 maybe? Somewhere around that time. I know they did Tommy.
It was way back in the olden days, when you could still take a blanket, and cooler and not get searched....and you could sit under the trees and catch a buzz and enjoy the music.....and no one gave a **** about what went on as long as the music was good.

ahh....

they were prolly touring the states promoting "who's next", which came out that year.

one of my biggest regrets is never getting to see moon play...

RP, I can remember that concert very well, even though I don't remember the date. I think at the time I knew it was momentous. It was a visually exciting show, in an outside pavillion....a much different atmosphere than an inside arena.

yep.
it was a long long long time ago.
I think concert tickets to the Baltimore Civic Center back then were less than $10.

Barry Manilow
Jimmy Buffet
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Stevie Wonder
Harry Connick Jr.
Chicago
I know I have been to more...but I can't seem to remember what...all pretty mild as you can see...

In the 1970's I was in love with Linda Ronstadt. I saw her perform live and sing all of my favorites. She also performed songs from an album that was about to be released. Her live performance of "Down So Low" was the most soulful thing I have ever heard.

My younger brother is a professional bass guitarist. He performed live with various punk groups and as a studio musician for their albums. The most notable rocker my brother played with is Henry Rollins.

Who wants to go see the Citizen Cope on Martha's Vineyard this Saturday? It's gonna be great, I swear. I just don't wanna go alone. It's a bit of a hike. Come on, people. Martha's Vineyard!

I've seen The Who twice, within the past few years. They were awesome.

Martha's Vinyard, slappy. Come on! You know you want to!

and

Bette Midler when she was doing the Divine Miss M....Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and that stuff

Sha Na Na Na ...when they opened for some other band (I forget who)

Speaking of concerts, I'm actually going to be at the Ozzfest in CT.

forgot a couple

the beach boys - molson park, barrie, ontario (rumour has it that brian wilson actually made it to toronto, but was not at the show)
crowded house - state theatre, detroit, michigan
lyle lovett - fox theatre, detroit, michigan (the show ended after about 6 songs, as lyle had the flu, never made it to the rescheduled show)
the pretenders with simple minds (learning to crawl tour) - canada's wonderland, toronto, ontario

Aaah I've seen the Beach Boys too - quite rusty I might add - at the opening season of a Padre game.

Santana plays here in San Diego once a year, and I have enjoyed that
on several occasion. When they opened for the Rolling Stones, I thought
they were a hell of a lot better than the Stones.

James Taylor was good, so was Elton John on tour with Billy Joel.

Prince was pretty good too.

Sammy Hagar
REM
Depeshe Mode
Cheap Trick
U2
Kenny Loggins
James Taylor
Fleetwood Mac
Eric Clapton
Van Morrison
Jimmy Buffet
Shawn Colvin
Beach Boys
Allison Krause

James Taylor was my favorite, he played at an outdoor ampitheater near St Louis on a beautiful night.
Saw Allison Krause at Chateau Ste Chapelle Winery. Nice place to drink wine and listen to music outdoors.
