What are your top 10 concerts?

[The PK]

Roger Waters The Wall, 2010, Bucket List check off.
Pantera, Powerman 5000, and White Zombie late 90s, bit hazy on when, Worcester Centrum, the pit was like a scene from Mad Max.
Ozzy, Diary of Madman Tour, Springfield MA May 81, got to see Randy Rhodes play live, first ever concert.
Far too many Dead Shows to mention, some were great, others were merely good, but they were always fun.
Crosby Stills and Nash, Orpheum Theater Boston, right after David got out of prison.

RE......SPECT.........WALK!!! I'm jealous. It bugs the shit out of me I didn't get to see them. Had a couple opportunities but had to work.

I saw Rage Against the Machine in Nashville during their Battle of LA tour. That was a great show!

If I could see any band that isn't around anymore, it would be LZ with Pantera real close behind.

I tackled the fuck out of a kid after a Pantera show in 97ish. Going after a Dimebag Darrell guitar pick. I was waiting for the fucker...I knew exactly where he went to chuck the fuckers after shows...I saw it hit the floor, started after it, another kid was going for it, and I fucking destroyed him like a LB hitting a QB. Blew him up, AND...more importantly, got the pick.

Then, like a dumbfuck, I used said pick until most the graphics wore off, then he was murdered.

Oh, saw Van Halen at Rupp Arena in Lexington. Still remember Sammy all turnt up that night. Eddie's hip was fucked up and he didn't move all night. Sammy was on some good shit and was all over the place. I remember him going "I want some pussyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" and holding that note for about a minute. Everyone MUST hear Panama live at least once.

Other than Cowboys from Hell that had some 80s sound, Pantera's music doesn't age. It sounds just as kick fucking ass today as it ever has.

 

[beardown07]

local radio station used to sponsor a wannabe woodstock every year when I was growing up. Saw some great old bands there, and the tickets were always next to nothing...like 10-12 bucks.

Santana, Doobie Bros., Foreigner, BTO,

Fuck...those were a looong ass time ago, and retardedly drug and alcohol-fueled.

My Mom was telling me about the insane shit going on at Stones concerts in the early 70s in California.

 

[GNG]

Yeah. Flew right out of Alpine Valley in a chopper and it crashed into a ski hill.

What a tragedy.

Stevie Ray was born and raised in Dallas, Texas.

Still remember that horrible night. Texas Flood will never, ever get old. Incredible amount of energy in that shit.

This isn't entirely true.

They actually have 4 albums out prior to Cowboys, that are bordering on glam-metal.

• Metal Magic (1983)
• Projects in the Jungle (1984)
• I Am the Night (1985)
• Power Metal (1988

Power Metal is with Anselmo too!?

A fan got stabbed at a Stones concert at Altamont Speedway in 1971.

 

[IndyAndy]

I've seen Rush 7 times (so far): '80/'88/'96/'02/'04/'07/'11. I'm going to see them again later this year.

Other good concerts I've attended:

Pink Floyd '87
Supertramp '79
Styx '81
Kansas '13
Train '13

 

[Chewbaccer]

Metal isn't my thing, but I do like Pantera. Yall ever listen to the Rebel Meets Rebel album? It's David Allan Coe, Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown. Hank Williams III is on a few songs as well.

She was at concerts where the California Hell's Angels were called in to restore law and order.

 

[beardown07]

Actually I almost listed those but didn't think anyone would know about their glam days.

 

[beardown07]

For about 10 solid years, a pretty good chunk of my change went to shows.

I love em, but still have them behind Metallica and Megadeth. I might even put Maiden and Sabbath above them.

And you wonder why you feel old now?
