Blues Traveler and moe. x 7
Slayer, Iron Maiden and the JGB x 6
Guns & Roses x 5
Metallica x 4
Pink Floyd and Mark Knopfler x 3 (MK fist time was at the Civic Area in August 89 - the thing that I remember most about this show was that when Mark came out to play with Eric Clapton I was thinking that anyone who thought Clapton was more talented was a complete f***ing moron and that anytime I get a chance to see Mark I need to go)
DMB x 3 (the first two shows were at a place called Atlantis on the Outer Banks - 50 then maybe 200 people in two successive years - then a 17k amphitheater outside Atl. - I walked out and have never listed again)

So many Jam Bands that never really made it that I cannot possibly recap here.

Best concert I ever attended was Phish on Saturday 11/11/1995 at the Fox theater in Atl GA - worst show ever a tie between Phish one week later 11/18/95 in North Charleston SC or the aforementioned DMB show at Lakewood Amp. in Atl. - walked out of both.

Florence and the Machine put on a great show, highly recommended. Lana Del Rey puts me to sleep, lol. RATM currently holds the top spot on my live show bucket list, I'm hoping to catch them on their current tour sometime next year but I'm hearing rumors they may cancel it after multiple covid delays. I've been waiting to see them for decades after they cancelled dates ~20 years ago when on tour with Beastie Boys and Mike D broke his arm. And of course shortly after that happened, RATM broke up.

Me too, that sucked hard. I did get to see the Beasties in Philly on, I think, their last tour.

I saw Prophets of Rage put on a really fun show a few years ago, seen Audioslave twice, but alas no Rage Against the Machine yet.

May 14, 1971 in Cleveland

 

[PSUJam]

I saw Aaron Lewis acoustic at the Hershey Theatre 10 or 15 years ago. He took requests and sang a bunch of covers as well as some of Staind songs. It was a cool experience. I think this was from around that time.

 

[dcf4psu]

I'll limit my list to concerts I saw at the Johnstown War Memorial (general admission seating) when I attended PSU Altoona from 1980-1981:

Ozzy Osbourne (Blizzard of Oz tour w/ Randy Rhoads), opening act Motorhead
Kansas
Blue Oyster Cult

Panic! Impressed.

 

[MrTailgate]

I have to say, I’m impressed with a lot of these lists. Such a great diversity of artists. Well done, well done.

I was hoping to see someone who had seen the X-pensive Winos. I think they would have been fun.

 

[ManxomeLion]

More than I can remember. The original Bonarro and about 10 NOLA Jazz fests along with 2-3 other decent size festivals back in the day. Some of these acts I have seen 40+ times, but there are still a ton of bands I'd love to see. Best new act I've seen in about a decade is Bill Strings...won the bluegrass grammy last year and just shreds the acoustic live.

You guys have much better memories than me. I've been to a **** ton but can't remember all and I'm young. @rudedude mentioned the Kirby and it took me back to my friend winning Jon Anderson tickets on call in radio and it was a straight tequila night.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I saw FIDLAR in London at a gay club by myself pre 19. That was super fun.

I love and appreciate talented people that can deliver entertainment including athletes and Chefs. Once you know a few, you really appreciate how much time and effort goes into learning and practicing.

Next up is Sir Paul, Dead and company and The Chris Brown Quartet at the 1905 in Portland Oregon.

Literally hundreds of other jazz artists, Blues artists, Bluegrass artists, Country Artists and Rock bands that either did or did make it As well.

I have yet to see Billy Strings.

Shemekia Copeland and Arthur on guitar are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. We used to go see her all the time at Cafe Classics in I guess Doylestown. She was a favorite of the owner Elaine and played there quite a bit early on. She would do two shows a night and we would go to both and go to both as well if she played multiple nights. Shemekia and Arthur told us all about their opening for the Stones when the one tour for the Stones had them playing one small show, one indoor large show, and one outside arena show in each city. If I recall they opened for them when they did the small show in Chicago. That was great getting their stories about meeting the Stones.

The Who recently visited Cincy for the first time since the tragic stampede in 1979. I wrote about the event a couple of years ago.

The Who – Remembering the “Stampede”

An entire generation of concert-goers probably has never heard of this event. Forty-one years ago, I was just 15 years old and starting to go to concerts with my friends when the unthinkable happen…

So, a day or two before, we saw The Who in Pittsburgh on that tour. They played Sunday night at the Igloo, possibly 12/1. The Grateful Dead played the Stanley on Friday and Saturday night. We were in town for all three shows ( a bunch of college kids holed up in the William Penn )

Both Bands were also staying at the William Penn as were legions of their fans. It may have been one of the most surreal experiences of the Long Strange Trip I have had the good fortune to enjoy. The Who played Sunday night and there was definitely an energy in the cold winter air That night.

Nice write up BTW Bill. Thanks.
