THE WHO Capital Center, Maryland 1979. Bought a qualude in the bathroom and got really fucked up.

U2 1982 Jacksonville Civic Center

Pat Travers 1984 (5?) Ruby Diamond Auditorium, Florida State University

The Joe Perry Project (some place in New Orleans, can't remember)

Blue Oyster Cult 1979 the last summer concert of the 70's, when they did godzilla they had a drum solo and the drummer had a godzilla mask on with strobe lights. It was cool.

Many others. Rush- countless times. I was doing window pane at the Leon County Civic Center and thought that all the people waving their hands were waving at me.

I have been to a lot of concerts...one of the best shows I have ever seen was Heart. I went on a " please go with me, I don't want to go by myself" spur of the moment thing. That concert was excellant!!! Those chicas could rock!

[Laurel]

1 Redhot Chili Peppers (headlining) (San Francisco New Years Eve 90)
Nirvana (second act)
Pearl Jam (Opening band)

I saw that tour - at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Terrible venue! but good show

I'd say:

1) Tricky at some auditorium in L.A. a couple years ago

2) Tool / Henry Rollins at Iguana's in TJ

3) Social D / The Ramones / Overwhelming Colorfast at the Starlight Bowl

4) Radiohead / Drugstore at SOMA

 

[Problem Child]

Pink Floyd, Oakland Coliseum, '95 or so...everybody was stoned...there was a strange inversion layer over the coliseum and everyone just stayed stoned...we couldn't help it. Really.

Santana, Sacramento...this would have been about 1977, 105 degrees...half the crowd had heatstroke...great show though

Metallica, Candlestick Park, 2000....I had earplugs in for almost the entire show...it was still too loud...I stopped counting naked breasts at about 65 pairs...

AC/DC, CowPalace, 1982...angus playing Bad Boy Boogie inches from me...yeah

Hank Williams Jr., Santa Barbara, '82 or '83...one of the only country singers that knows how to rock and roll like a rock and roller

George Thorogood, Santa Barbara, '82 or '83 again...nonstop...almost wears you out he plays so hard.

Those are the only ones I'd consider "great" or close to it...

I was on the first row at Baby Le Strange in the Jacksonville Coluseum. Wanted to fuck both of them chicks.

 

[freakygirl]

ok.. don't laugh

I've never been to a concert

But I did see Nirvana, The Melvins and Pearl Jam when they were still nobodys.

It was in a dark cigarette-smoke filled garage. And we were all drunk

But the music was ok.
