Augie Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 I can’t believe there’s not more love for Van Morrison.

The Poojer Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 I have been kicking myself for not going to the Outlaw Road Show this year with Willie Nelson and Van Morrison. I was just kind of festivaled out.....completely went against one of my mantras, "don't miss out on things you want to do, there's always time to catch up on rest and make more money" 11 hours ago, Augie said: I can’t believe there’s not more love for Van Morrison. 1

Songs were great. Best band lineup of their career. 2) Worst: Grateful Dead, Rich Stadium 1985ish. Sound was horrible, ate some questionable shrooms. 3) Bucket List: Not sure really. Maybe the remaining members of Led Zeppelin. 4) Original Led Zeppelin.

Great voice. He came out of the closet like two years ago, and I was surprised he ever considered himself in the closet. My mother in law was a huge fan. Not my cup of tea, but I respect his talent. He wrote a whole bunch of jingles we still use.

Unfortunately, Van Morrison wasn't on that leg. Willie is my hero, but he just can't sing anymore. Edited November 21, 2018 by The Real Buffalo Joe

Rob Halford could string together a few sentences intelligently so he was on the suspicion list for years but nobody died except Lord Mercury, so who knows what they were really doing in spite of public boasting
LewPort71 Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 Best... Large venue ELP at Rich Stadium in 1974. Small venue... Moody Blues with Orchestra Worst...Bob Dylan in Charleston WV. sound was horrible and mumbling did not help. Bucket... King Crimson Missed... Genesis with Peter Gabriel. ** Saw original Allman Brothers at Marietta College homecoming the weekend before Duane died.

row_33 Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 ------------------------------------------------------- my drummer wishlist would have been to be for the recordings of: the totally overdubbed Moon opening to Live at Leeds "Heaven and Hell" (Live at Hull is the honest recording live...) Bonham's fill at 1:17 of Achille's Last Stand Floyd Sneed's ghost beats in 3DN's Family of Man, actually anything with Floyd again... (hi-hat and snare with the left stick helps...)

Thanks for the endorsement. I'm also a Genesis afficianado and never got to see them with Gabriel or Hackett. Musical box plays Philly yearly and was never really inspired to see them. This sways my thinking

If I don't like the band I don't go. Lots of lousy openers though. The Divinyls opening for The Clash at SUNY Binghamton were godawful. 3) Been blessed to see so many of my favs over the years. I've been waiting for Joel Plaskett Emergency to come down to the states for a show but he sticks primarily to Canada. 4) Saw Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson solo but never got to see The Band back in the day. Would have enjoyed that I'm sure.

Sex Pistols at the Trump Borgata in AC 2003, 2nd place Pistols at the 9:30 Club in DC same tour. 2. Journey opening for the Stones at Rich Stadium 1981. If you need a headliner, then Yes in the round at Purdue 1979 (don't kill the whale ) 3. No one right now that I can think of, I think I've seen everyone I wanted to see that's still going. Maybe Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, not a big fan of the music but the shows look incredible from vids. 4. Led Zeppelin, had tickets 2x for shows that never happened (Plant's kid and Bonzo)
Augie Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 Many of you were too young, but some might have caught my elementary school concert at Kleinhans Music Hall. We recorded Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Scarborough Fair. There is an album somewhere, maybe in Cleveland (R&R HOF, of course). If you were there, you’d remember! Absolutely rousing renditions!
Pete Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 1-hard to say- I have seen Ramones 14 times, Metallica in front of 500 in 1985, Janes Addiction in 1991 Boston, countless Dead shows, Neil Young doing 2 hour acoustic set, Red Hot Chilli Peppers on Mothers Milk tour, Rage Against the Machine....those are the first ones that come to mind 2-Milli Vanilli- a girl dragged me there 3-Buddy Guy 4-the first Woodstock and the second Lollapalooza Location: North America - Including, among others, Alpine Valley Music Theater Dates: July 18, 1992 – September 13, 1992 Main Stage: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Pearl Jam, Lush.

Not because of the acts, but the setting (100 gegrees) on an abandoned airforce base with no shade. Nearly freaked out after doing acid for the first time in the blazing heat. To top it off out of how many thousands of people that were there I somehow ran into my high school drivers ed teacher as the acid was kicking in. 3) Bucket List Concert David Gilmore 4) Concert you wish you could see, but can't due to death/bandbreakup etc. Original Zeppelin, Doors, Floyd Edited November 22, 2018 by RaoulDuke79

For the pure excitement only youth can bring I'd say Genesis post Gabriel. I also saw Gabriel post Genesis. Both in Saratoga. Add Queen. All three were great shows. For music quality and enjoyment more appreciated by old fogies, I'll go with Mark Knopfler who I have seen twice and will see again next Summer. He has an incredible band and an amazingly diverse library. 2. My worst was also my first. The Cars. I remember asking some older friends if all concerts were like that. Thank God they aren't. I still like their songs though. 3. I'm not sure there is one because most would fall into category 4. 4. I think I'll go with a Traffic for this one. Zep is obvious but has also been mentioned a bunch. Add Pink Floyd on The Wall tour.
