I'll shit in your shoes.
Ted Nugent was an electrifying performer.
One of the best I've been to for just kick ass music.

That is true, but there is much more bad than good. Much, much more.There was good disco and bad disco music. To dismiss all of it doesn't make sense.
I'm only 48 and I wasn't fortunate enough to see the Stones in their prime. My dad says the Stones were at their best with Brian Jones in the lineup.
Disco Era ? They did a couple of songs in that style, I think just to show they could do it and do it well, and Miss You is a great song.
I was just a kid when Jones died. I don't know about live, but they definitely had a different sound with him. But their creative peak is almost universally considered to be 68-72 when they released Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers & Exile and nearly all of that was without or after Jones.
To this day, Jones has a very large group of fans who seem to believe that he was the reason for their success and they get very irate when you challenge them on that ... in the YouTube comments, for instance. Personally I don't get it. He didn't write a single song and was gone before their peak years.
Have to deduct points from the Stones because of their disco era.
My second "big" rock concert was seeing Aerosmith up in Wisconsin around '82...they were just plain awful, and the show ended early after a fan up front grabbed the cord on Tyler's mic and played tug of war with him for a while. Tyler finally yanked the mic away, threw it down on the stage, and led the band in walking off, not to return. Steven was wearing a very questionable frock coat with a bunny tail on the back, it was pretty funny to watch it bounce back and forth as he stalked away.I seen Ted Nugent open for Aerosmith in the early 80's. Aerosmith sounded so bad that the opening act (Nugent) came out and did the encore.

It was a blessing...almost the entire crowd was sitting in their seats thinking, "Man, I wasted a lot of time and money for this."
My first major concert was a little less disappointing, I had no idea that Ozzie was not longer in Black Sabbath but Dio really did a good job as the frontman in his place. I was still bummed, but at least I was also entertained. It was also funny because a 20ish guy right in front of us passed out during the first opening act and his friends kept shaking him and slapping him in the face during the main act while screaming, "Dude, you're missing SABBATH!!!!!"
The only time I saw Aerosmith was in 73. Their 1st album had just come out and I guess Dream On was getting some airplay, but I'd never heard of them. They opened for Rory Gallagher at the local community college gym. We were right in front of the stage and they were great. I was there with my gf, my friend and his gf... I was the ride. They decided they didn't want to watch an Irish blues guitarist after that and I lost the vote that we stay 1-3, so we left. By 82 their drug problems had probably taken over.
You should have made them walk.

Neil Peart
Stewart Copeland
Much more impressed with the guitar player than the drummer.
