    That would have been late 1960s and Three Dog Night.

    Soon after that, Steppenwolf.

    ...and soon after that a very small venue at UNC Chapel Hill
    to see Gordon Lightfoot, Tom Rush, And Doc & Merle Watson
    on the same show. Sat in fold out chairs right up at the
    stage.

    High School spring break - me and a friend were at Ft Lauderdale and jumped the fence and saw the Beach Boys.

    They sounded like crap. I was seriously thinking of asking for my money back. image

    Lol Mike.

    It's funny how some bands/artists sound so bad in concert. I don't respect acts that need a studio to make them sound good.

    The tightest band I ever saw was Genesis. Those guys were good, sounded
    even better than the albums.

    For me, it was Metallica/Guns n Roses at the LA Forum in 1988. Metallica opened and played a killer set. Then GNR decided to wait until like 1AM to go on stage.

    "1992 Peter Gabriel - Steam tour "

    Was That the tour that started off with Come Talk To Me?

    This is perhaps the best song/performance combination I've ever seen.
    Wish I had been there.

    Pink Floyd on the Animals tour, summer of 1977 at Soldier Field. Won two tickets by calling 94.7 WDAI, good times.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    I saw GNR at MSG and they pulled the same crap. I had heard that they went on late, but I disregarded it. I had to go to work the next morning, not a pleasant morning.

    My first was Elton John when I was 8 or 9, but the 1st without my parents was the 1st Lalapalooza in '91. It wasn't like the following years with multiple stages and all that. It was a regular concert, but with a big lineup.

    Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Living Colour, Nine Inch Nails, Fishbone, Ice T & Body Count, Butthole Surfers, Rollins Band

    I saw Y&T that same year at Warno's Theatre in Fresno. Went to a couple of Mountain Aire shows, too. First one had Ratt, REM, Berlin, Cars and Huey Lewis.

    << <i>U2 Joshua Tree Oakland Coliseum 1987...pretty cool that my old babysitter who was in college at the time took me! >>

    I was there that night. That was a great show.

    Along with RATM, this is one band I really wish I had caught live.

    The only 1 I have ever been to was in Ames Ia. (sp) many years ago. Maybe 1993?

    The 3 acts were
    Sawyer Brown- friggin AWESOME
    Diamond Rio- Average at best
    Clay Walker- Man, I like his music, but I think I could of put up a better showimage

    The 1 thing that sticks out in my mind is how much "herbal remady" was being consumed.
    You could write your name in the air! LOL

    Day on the Green Oakland Colisseum 1982.

    Foreigner, Loverboy, Scorpions and Iron Maiden.

    11 years old with my 22 year old cousin, her boyfriend, and a bunch of their friends in a motorhome.

    My folks were pretty naive, my cousin was very cool, and that day was an unforgettable experience.
