I expect I'll be at the Rush one, even though it's outdoors in the freaking summer.

Farm-Ur Ted you have inspired me! I'm trying to remember every band I've ever seen, which started out fun but has now descended into annoyance as I'd assumed the internet would help with festival lineups and stuff like that to jog my memeory - it hasn't! (At least not the ones back in the 90's)

(Best moment to far, going through my CD collection, and remembering

f***ing hell! I HAVE seen Johnny Cash live!!!!!!!!!

How the HELL do you forget something like that???????)

I wish I'd gotten to see Johnny. (I should go see Merle Haggard some day, too, but I'm sure I won't.) I usually save my ticket stubs and stuff them in the front of a cd jewel case, so I'll see them periodically and it reminds me what I've been to. I don't go to shows that much anymore; most were during a 4-5 year period, and for whatever reason I can remember a lot of it.

Just back from seeing Biffy Clyro again.

A small gig at the local HMV to promote their single 'Saturday Superhouse'

Great Stuff.

Sorry. . . bet that would be a great show! I love Tool, and A Perfect Circle too!

I'm rather stoked, since tickets for the Police concert in St. Louis go on sale on Saturday. I could fork over an extra benjamin to join the fan club and get early tickets, but I think I'll take my chances. I've had a thing for Sting for nearly two decades, but if I miss him this time I'll catch him the next time around.

But, having said that, I'm going to have the website open and credit card in hand the instant the tickets go on sale to the general public.

Wow, that's a ton, Stonemaybe! You've got some great ones in there. I'm jealous about My Bloody Valentine. That must've been really cool.

In WI, we have a fesitval called "Summerfest" where for 2 weeks, there is nothing but music, beer, and food on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Great new acts, as well as old timers in most genres. Great stuff.

Ha! You saw Tom Jones. Did you throw your skivvies at him?

Post by **Cail** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 3:02 pm

No, but I'll tell you what....The first time I saw him I think I was around 20. There were women in their 40s heaving their drawers at him left and right. If I'd had a MILF fetish at that point, I'd have been in heaven!

Post by **Zarathustra** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 4:41 pm

I can't remember all of them, but here's the highlights:

Rush 1990, 1992, 1995, 1997, 2002, 2005.

Pink Floyd, Yes, Robert Plant, Rolling Stones, Tool, Phish, Grateful Dead, Traffic, Dave Matthews Band, Guns & Roses, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Van Halen, Doobie Brothers, Primus, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, STP, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Black Crows, Living Color, Steve Miller, Kansas, Styx, Cheap Trick, Kiss, and lots of local stuff.

Monsters of Rock (Van Halen, Metallica, Scorpions, Dokken, Kingdom Come)
Lollapalooza '93 (Alice in Chains, Primus, Rage Against the Machine . . . can't remember the rest)

Hey Cail, you must have seen the same Cinderella tour I saw; I noticed you mentioned Winger right after them (the opening act). If I recall, there were three bands on that tour . . . the third being Bulletboys. Man, I went to some embarrassing shows in the 80s. But I remember being somewhat impressed with Cinderella. They actually had this very dark, "Satanic" vibe going on that surprised me. Very evil. I was expecting nothing but big hair 80s rock fluff.
