LOL<br /><br />Sadly some of the shows I've seen were gawdawful. Robert Plant was too loud so you couldn't hear anything he was saying. The frontman for Suicidal Tendencies was so drunk and high that the show was awful. Warrior Soul's frontman was such a jerk that they got booed off the stage. Poison was just AWFUL.<br /><br />Thankfully they are balanced out by the great shows I've seen.Jay Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409350742317719903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-38083260080318630192017-03-21T07:32:11.662-04:002017-03-21T07:32:11.662-04:00Eh?

In high school it was surf music, there were "battle of the surf bands" almost every weekend in summer, including Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, The Beach Boys, The Surfaris, Chantays, too many others to name )or remember). Later, Buffalo Springfield, POCO, The Hollies, Crosby, Stills and Nash (before Young), The Moody Blues, Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin lead singer), The Doors, Linda Ronstadt (with The Stone Ponys the first time in Tucson), Chicago and Love at a concert at the Shrine Auditorium in LA, one of the best I have ever seen. Chicago was a new band at the time and they called themselves the Chicago Transit Authority then. <br /><br />Later I stopped going to rock concerts and went to jazz concerts instead. The Playboy Jazz Festival every year for a decade, and concerts by George Benson, Weather Report, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck, Modern Jazz Quartet, many others. One of the best of those I remember was Manhattan Transfer.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-86335390160150848162017-03-20T16:04:09.726-04:002017-03-20T16:04:09.726-04:00Oh, Julia, I had a crush on Barry Manilow, too, an...Oh, Julia, I had a crush on Barry Manilow, too, and saw him in concert twice. I was in college when I saw him. I also saw Joni Mitchell while I was in college. I wish I'd gone to more concerts when I was young like that. I got married at 22, so I didn't go to concerts again until I got older. About six years ago, I saw James Taylor and loved it. Seeing him with Bonnie Rait would be awesome. At about the same time period, I saw Gordon Lightfoot. I so wish I'd seen the Eagles when Glenn Fry was alive, and I can't believe I haven't seen Paul McCartney. The Rolling Stones is another group I'd still love to see. They're not a rock group of a sensational act, but I took my teenage granddaughter to see The Piano Guys two years ago, and we both loved every minute of it.<br /><br />I'll be traveling to Hawaii tomorrow, so it may be a couple of days before I'm back here. I always feel a little lost without my daily dose of Jungle Reds.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-90113970101192853312017-03-20T15:50:38.219-04:002017-03-20T15:50:38.219-04:00And "Along Comes Mary"!And "Along Comes Mary"!Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-56368869419498961312017-03-20T15:09:15.941-04:002017-03-20T15:09:15.941-04:00I loved the Osmonds, when I was young, Lisa!

They're a smidge before my time, but still, I got to experience the Dead Head thing (mellow folks smoking pot, on X, wearing tie-die, smiling at everyone, SUPER friendly and inclusive -- made me wonder what it must have been like in the late sixties!<br /><br />I saw The Police on their Synchronicity tour--wow, did I have a crush on Sting. :-) And a The Who concert, which was wild.

Maybe The Association in college. The student blanket tax covered the cost. When I was living at home and attending college in New Orleans I talked my dad into going with me to see Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66. Got free tickets to see The Carpenters when we were living in Austin. I've seen Elton John (got rained on), the Beach Boys (got rained on), Billy Joel. The Chieftans a couple of times. Junior Brown a couple of times. Asleep at the Wheel. Merle Haggard just a couple of years ago at a county fair. Jerry Jeff Walker. Tom Jones up in Cleveland, Ohio. That concert was a hoot! That man can sing. I don't go to concerts much anymore. I can't take the traffic and big crowds and bigger ticket prices. We still go to small venues on occasion. I would love to see Willie Nelson but see previous comment. He was just at the rodeo but his night sold out fast. We did see ZZ Top at the rodeo a few years ago. I would LOVE to see Cyndi Lauper. I'm sure I've seen a few more concerts but can't bring them to mind at the moment. Dream concerts would have been Big Brother and Holding Co., Elvis, Rod Stewart, the Who, the Stones.Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-57591402379569180132017-03-20T12:50:16.551-04:002017-03-20T12:50:16.551-04:00I saw more classical musicians than rock stars gro...I saw more classical musicians than rock stars growing up. Saw Jack Benny and Benny Goodman when the performed with the Seattle Symphony. Showing my age, my first rodk concert was Rick Nelson, when he was still known as Ricky.
