Longest post ever.....
I like Most spent many a day and many more nights at concerts. Some of the very best show I do not really remember. Some I remember parts of.
Best Show man I remember was Lyle Lovett and his very large band, I saw at antone's in Austin home of the PBS show Austin City Limits. I saw that tour several times. If he is with the VERY LARGE BAND go and see it worth every penny. Second Place Gov't Mule. KISS back in the day was ground breaking in so many ways. Mathew Sweet a distant fourth
Best Local show was Frank Zappa at the Vogue night club in 1984. (faKe ID used for the first time in my life ) Second place the red hot chilli peppers at the patio before Mothers milk album was released. Honourable mention was parliment/funkadellic at the vogue.
Best all day venue was the first lalapalooza tour saw it in 4 cities. Second place Woodstock 1994. third the Big cypris show from Phish.
Best country bluegrass show was Earl sckrag's and family. (yes the guy who does the beverly hillbilly's theme) Toby Kieth a close second. Not a real country fan.
Best guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn at Clowes memorial hall. (Acoustically perfect concert venue) He gave a guitar lesson. Second Jerry garcia in 1986 at the us tennis center in Downtown indy. (sould be in the best loacl show category also before Jerry got real bad with his demons) and Eddie van halen in 1985 at MSA.
Best drummer, drummers. Alex Van Halen (better than most any drummer listen to Hot for teacher His brother gets all the Hype) , Drum space from any DEAD SHOW. ( one drummer good two drummers better). Keeping with that theme the Allman brothers Band.
Most Interesting Thing to happen during a concert. I was doing real well seducing two great looking ladies at Pickadillies (yes pick a disease) things were loking great for one of those nights of a lifetime to tell your male children about and the bouncer comes up to me and asks me if I was John Marriott. It seems David Allen Coe Kicked out the front teeth of my best friend with his cowboy boots. Man what I would have given to not have picked him up that night,
Longest Set Blues traveler over 2 hours 30 minutes without even a 30 second break. I think they said hello. They played two set afterwards one for 90 minutes and another for 60 minutes as an encore. Most bands can't do 90 minutes and a 15 minute encore.
Best mosh pit Panterra with special guest Nine inch nails at the aragon ballroom in chicago. They call it the aragon brawlroom for a reason.
Worst show ever David lee Roth Drunk off his *** and had a statue of a devel that Pee'd on the crowd during the encore. David Pee'd on the crowd all of his set. A close second was James Brown at the holidome in merriville IN. He would come out and grunt a few lines and then go back stage and snort a few lines and come back out and yell and grunt and stuff.
Bands I never want to see again, Guns and roses as long as Alex (A**h*le ) rose is with them. Great show once it gets started but never seen him come on stage within 2 hours of when he was to be onstage. Primus I love the show but after a while it is like a cat playing with a mouse. Get it over and Move on. Third Tom petty and Bob Dylan together in one show. The most nasal sounding signer every together is just to much once again a good show just to much nose.
Band I need to see still
Death cab for cutie. Mofro. and Big and Rich,
I could go on and on but you guys are most likely tired of my favorites. go see a show. Remember My first concert was Marshal Tucker, Golden earring, and Truimph for $4.95 (A q-95 concert promotion) and my most expensive Eagles Hell freezes over 95 dollars a seat and they cancelled and made the show up over a year later. they had my money for a year and a half.
Lots of good local bands, support them.... Here come the mummies come to mind. If you have not seen them give them a try at the Vogue. I can afford to see show like I did on the past. I have kids now and don't live like I did. I was know to take a single light bulb from room to room with me for light and get my toilet paper at Mc donalds restrooms. Concerts should be under 30 dollars a seat and festive seating.
End of longest post ever.....I should rep the starter........
