Jesus christ Jillian! this is so far beyond tramp....this is groupie territory!



Speaking of great concerts, Spinal Tap is going on reunion tour and I think you, echo, and I should totally get down with that.

I have to bring my earplugs, they like to turn it up to 11 ya know.

Screw that----saw Deep Purple in Denver at 11----I left----every song sounded like Smoke on the Water to me.

Yeah, I bet Berkley got about everyone who went on tour, probably still do! That would be great! Here in corn country, a lot of cool bands pass by us, go to Chicago instead.

Chuck Berry... two summers ago... at the Duck Room... a small venue in the basement of a place called Blueberry Hill in St. Louis... holds about 200 people max. We were in the front row... Chuck was duckwalking no more than three feet in front of me. He played for nearly 2 hours... played every great Chuck Berry song you can think of... he may have been nearly 80 years old, but he still could rock... and he still could seriously shred on that old red guitar.

i also saw Pink Floyd with their Quad speaker setup around 73...

ZZ Top around the same time,also at the Forum

Cream and Spirit in 69.....

Traffic at the long beach arena w. Free....about 72...

ELP with their Quad setup around 73....that was quite impressive.....

1976 I saw the Electic Light Orchestra when their Face The Music album came out. that was a pretty good concert. The laser light show was spectacular. I did see the Grateful Dead around 74'. Maria Muldaur opened for them. Those were good times in the 70's....from what I remember....

Some of you people are so lucky. Floyd, Zeppelin, Queen..... AT THE LA FORUM IN THE 70s. MASS 1960s ROCK FESTIVALS?! That would've blown my mind. The millennium sucks. Oh well, I've still gotten to see some awesome stuff:

1) Iron Maiden Somewhere Back in Time Tour 2008 - It was the third time I saw Maiden live, but for the first time in my native country. They had never played anywhere nearby, so thousands of people all over Central America came to see them and it became some sort of huge national phenomenon (their plane was on the front cover of the newspapers, there were hundreds of people camping out in line for days before, etc etc). It was by far the biggest metal concert we had ever seen. 30,000 of us chanting- they were heard from MILES away. The setlist murdered. It was such a good time that they immediately put us on the third leg of the tour, and played again about a week ago. Must've been awesome, too.

2) Ozzfest 2005: Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Black Label Society, In Flames, Rob Zombie.
3) Ozzfest 2004: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slayer
4) Yes at M.S.G. in 2003
5) Kiss/Aerosmith at MSG in 2003

Yeah, yeah, so it's no woodstock, but you gotta work with what you get. idugsdiausokjgk.

You're going to probably hate me for saying this, but three continuous days (24 hours a day) is just too damned much music (or was it too much drugs?)

No I did not see all these bands. I slept some, too. Understand when there's that much music happening, it becomes background music, not the main event.

Huge, relatively cheap, rock and roll festivals were more common then than now.

The bands were our excuse to get a lot of like minded people all in one place at one time, I think. Remember hippies were still getting their asses kicked just for being long hairs. Getting together someplace where we felt we were in charge was heady stuff.

These events was more than music festivals... they were a social revolution.

The boomers were just then beginning to realize their power, the power of millions of us rejecting the social confines of the WWII generation's domination of our society.

I feel sorry for those of you who followed us, to be honest.

Not only did we cut a huge path, but then most of us forgot the point of it all.

We fucked it up for you guys, to be honest.

We could have changed the world, but instead we sold out for for the baubles that came from working with a system that at least some of us understood was corrupt and wrong headed.

You should be--great shows every week and I dont remember ever paying more than 10 bucks to get in one. In Hawaii we would also get free ones in the park from the likes of Santana, Quicksilver, Fleetwood mac--etc etc. Austin was pretty good in the 70s too .

by whom ....when and where.....date can be approx........


I saw Queen with Thin Lizzy Opening,LA Forum 76.....became a Lizzy fan after that one...they FUCKING ROCKED the house down....but Queen survived

not my favorite but ZZ Top four and a half years ago was pretty good. Elton John was good last spring! Tom Petty this last summer was good!
If you live anywhere on the West Coast I recommend seeing a concert at the Gorge at George in Washington that over looks the Columbia, best setting for a concert.
I went to a concert about two weeks ago that was fun, to much dancing though and lots of hippie. I actually ended up taking a large bite out of some hippie's mushroom brownies, man did I have a body high!
