I don't remember anything about Neil Young doing time. When was this?

Don, you're not any older than me. My top five:

Jimi Hendrix (1968, I think)
Janis Joplin (1967, maybe)
Led Zeppelin (I never spell that right, about 1968))
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention (in a very small basement room with about 10 other people, probably 1963)

and the odd man out... Barry Manilow (about 1982!) He puts on a great show!!

Boy, I don't get out much. My list is really dated!

Elvis (Man, it was great!)
Barry Manilow (Yes it was a great show)
Liberace (Took my parents)
Sandi Patti (Have seen her live about 4 times)
Jim Croce (he came to my college campus)

I know I have seen some others, but these are the only ones in concert format. Yeah, I know, I'm old!!!

Renniks, I've seen Barry M 3 times so far and couldn't agree more. Just found out today that he's coming to the Fleet Center October 1st. You know I'm going to be there holding up my sign so he picks me for the "Can't Smile without you" girl!

They're not all bands, but they all had concerts . .

Moody Blues
Spyro Gyra at Ravinia
Steve Dahl and Gary Meier at Mill Run, 1981 (any Chicagoans remember these guys?)
Roy Orbison
Marshall Tucker

The worst:
an Allen Ginsberg harmonium concert (didn't get it - guess you had to be stoned. I walked out) 1971

I would have guessed you had to be stoned to buy a ticket.

2% Jazz, 98% Funky Stuff.

For whatever reason, Maceo loves playing Burlington (where I went to school). I think I saw him a total of five times while I was there. This particular show was in a small club, so there was only about 300 people there.

One of the great things about his group is the professionalism. They play their instruments very well and everyone is wearing a suit. Perhaps it is because I am old fashioned, but I just don't think class and excellent musicianship ever goes out of style (despite what Britney Spears is doing these days).

U2--1983 (War Tour)




Z, I am SO jealous!! The closest I got to that tour was the Red Rocks video which I've just about worn out!

1. U2 - Joshua Tree tour
2. Quarterflash - Take Another Picture tour
3. Linda Ronstadt & the Neville Brothers - 1990 tour
4. Hal Ketchum - 1993 tour (mine & my wife's first date!)
5. Paul Simon - 1991 tour


People I REALLY wanted to see but never got the chance:
1. Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA tour
2. the Carpenters - ANY tour
3. Garth Brooks - Friends in Low Places tour

Concerts I wish I had stayed away from:
1. Stevie Nicks - Rock a Little tour (have permanent hearing damage from that one)
2. Jimmy Buffett - 1991 tour (just a b-a-a-a-d trip, man)

Back in my punk and ska days - I did see Green Day (1994?). The bands before them were much better.

I saw Dave Matthews a month ago. I'm not a hardcore Dave Matthews fan (or freak, as I call them) - but it was a really good live show.

My favorite, which also happens to be my favorite band, is 311. I've seen them 7 times now. They are awesome live.

It was quite a concert. Outdoors in Austin in the Summer. All the students were gone, so the crowd was small and we were close to the stage. It was general admission. The Alarm opened for them (their first American tour). The next night I saw the Blasters open for the B-52s.

As far as stage show, I would have to say Janet Jackson is one of the best out there. Other concerts I really enjoyed were:

Madonna
Reba
Beyonce/Missy Elliott/Alica Keys (ladies first tour)
Cyndi Lauper
Celine Dion in Vegas
