Off the top of my head, and I know I’m forgetting more than a few, but I’ve seen - **Kiss** - 1978 (my dad took my two older brothers & me to it) **the Clash** **the B-52s** **Neil Young** - several times, once with Crazy Horse. **Crosby, Stills & Nash** - strangely, never with Neil Young. **Grateful Dead** - lots and lots of times, but not hundreds of times **the Red Hot Chili Peppers** - free concert, one month before they broke through with “Higher Ground” **REM** - the “farewell” Green tour - they claimed they weren’t going to tour anymore after that. **U2** - Twice, in 1981 in a tiny auditorium, and in 1992 at the Meadowlands stadium. **Hot Tuna** **Jefferson Airplane** - reunion tour - which was unfairly maligned as it was a fun show. **10,000 Maniacs** - once opening up for the Dead, once in Jamestown CC - debuting all the songs from the “Our Time in Eden” disc, but with lots of unfinished lyrics. **Bob Dylan with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers** - Petty & crew were supposed to be Dylan’s backing band, but Dylan was so obviously sheetfaced that Petty had to take over the show, allowing Dylan to come back and slur through an incoherent encore. **the Replacements** once, and **Paul Westerberg** once. **Tragically Hip** - too many times to count. **David Bowie** - twice, once for the “China Girl” tour, once in the early 90s. Sadly, in the latter show, it was obvious that most people were there simply to see the opening act, **Nine Inch Nails** (admittedly, Reznor did a better set that night…☹ .) **Annie Lennox** - free concert in Central Park’s Delacourt theater. **Sleater-Kinney** & **Guided by Voices** in Central Park. **Rufus Wainwright** - AGAIN in Central Park. **the Steve Miller Band** - Miller was obviously tanked. \*\*Peter Gabriel/b] - “So” tour **Rolling Stones** - “Steel Wheels” tour **Rage Against the Machine** **David Byrne** - several times, but alas never the Talking Heads. **Billy Joel** - although I don’t think this counts as a “concert” he performed “New York State of Mind” for a 9/11 memorial in (guess where?) Central Park. **Dave Matthews** - with the band, and his free ‘solo’ show in … that park again! **Jon Spencer Blues Explosion** - more drunken fumbling on stage. **k.d. lang** - I was the only guy in an auditorium full of lesbians. lang was “pre-out” (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) and made fun of the ‘innuendo’ surrounding her - “I’m a l-, l-, l- , LAWRENCE WELK FAN!” **Sting** - a concert that, surprisingly, rocked! **Ozric Tentacles** **Billy Bragg** **Lollapalooza** festival - the year that Smashing Pumpkins & George Clinton performed. **Stevie Ray Vaughn & Joe Cocker** **Eric Clapton & Mark Knopfler** **Little Feat** - another reunion concert. ---

I honestly don’t think I could. Concerts used to be an almost weekly event for me in my younger days, from small venues to the Astrodome. Basically, just look at any classic rock radio station’s play list and you’ll be pretty close. Plus, add in a good helping of both R&B and Country. ---

My first concert was Styx - Mr. Roboto Tour.

Kansas Metallica Queensryche (in Mpls) Metallica (again) Garth Brooks I’ve been [here](http://www.winstockfestival.com/WINSTOCKFESTIVAL/myarticles.asp?P=76237&S=252&PubID=1685) for the past six years, so have seen many many country acts. Alan Jackson Dwight Yoakum And more symphonies/ballets/orchestra concerts than you can shake a stick at wherein I’ve met Jean-Pierre Rampal, James Galway, and Bobby McFerrin. ---

I’m probably forgetting one or two, but my short (and I do mean short) list is: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Meatloaf Emerson Lake and Palmer Emerson Lake and Palmer/Dream Theater/Deep Purple Crosby Stills and Nash Crash Test Dummies Tori Amos It’s funny; I love music with a passion, I just haven’t gone to see that many shows. I would have liked to have caught the Who before Entwistle died. ---

Well, not _all_ of them, but the ones that stand out: **The Association** 1966 (“Along Comes Mary”) **The Beach Boys** 1966 (at their prime) **The Lovin’ Spoonfu** l 1966 (I believe in magic!) **The Beatles** 1966 (couldn’t hear anything except the screaming. Bobby Hebb opened the show. Remember him?) [Sinatra] When I was a younger guy, it was a very good year … 1966, it was a very good year [/Sinatra] **The Doors 1969** (and others incl. John Lennon, Alice Cooper, CTA, …) (A life-changing experience! I swear Jim was singing to me. Honestly …) **Frank Zappa and the Mothers** 1971 (Susie? Susie Creamcheese?) **Jethro Tull** 1972 (Really don’t mind if you sit this one out …Left me deaf) **Pinkfloyd** 1973 (DSOM tour - wow!) **Jerry Jeff Walker** 1975 (amazing concert, amazing rapport with audience) **The Eagles 1978** (my last trip) ---

**Jonathon Chance** , I am green with envy right now! So many of my favorites are on your list. You should be very proud. As for my own list: Stevie Nicks Natalie Merchant No Doubt Peter Frampton Lynard Skynard (free tickets but lousy show) Tom Petty (3 times) Jackson Browne Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Warped Tour '97 (too many artists to list) Lillith Fair (Sarah, Sheryl Crow, Liz Phair, Queen Latifah, The Dixie Chicks, etc., etc) Counting Crows Live Stone Temple Pilots Disturbed Booker T & the MG’s (w/o Steve Cropper) In April, I will be able to add Green Day (hurray) but as for now my list is short yet satisfying. ---

Basically, just look at any classic rock radio station’s play list and you’ll be pretty close. Plus, add in a good helping of both R&B and Country. This pretty much describes my situation, but change the Country to Celtic. In the 70’s, all my babysitting money went to concerts, from the **Rolling Stones** (five bucks a ticket) to **Jethro Tull** to **Leon Russell** to **Steve Miller** to **The Who** (shook hands with Pete Townshend) to the **Allman Bros** to **CSNY** to **Neil Young and Crazy Horse** , **Fleetwood Mac** (in early and later incarnations) all multiple times, **Young** might be double digits. And then a few like **The Doors** , **Santana** , **Country Joe and the Fish** , **Marvin Gaye** , **Earth Wind and Fire** , **Eric Clapton** just once. One of my faves was a free concert with **Vassar Clements** , that man can play. Saw **Warren Zevon** a zillion times in the 80’s and 90’s. In recent years have enjoyed **Los Lobos** twice, \*\*Midnight Oil,\*\ ***Mark Knopfler** , **Leo Kottke** , **Richard Thompson** and **The Chieftains** , **Patrick Street** , **The Young Dubliners**. I dunno, I really have lost track though. The concerts that got away from me are about my only regrets in life. For various reasons I had a chance to see, and missed, **The Beatles,** **Jimi Hendrix,** and **Bob Marley.** And now I really don’t do the stadium thing anymore, just smaller venues. ---

In my musician days (back in the 80s), I saw concerts 2 or three times a week. Most of the bands I saw don’t exist any more and those that do, most people haven’t heard of anyway. There were some bands I was lucky enough to see/hang out with before they were big, including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Primus, Smashing Pumpkins, likely others. ---

Another person with a very small list. Two I won’t mention except to say, I went to one only because my high school gave us free tickets (well, and he wasn’t really rock anyway), and the other I went to with my mother, but the ones I will say are: 1)Part of a Belinda Carlisle concert which was being held at the state fair, but I didn’t stay because my best friend at the time was hungry and wanted to leave to get a bite to eat. I should have just told him to go on his own. Oh well. 1. George Thorogood 2. YES 3. Weird Al Yankovic Oh, and by the way, even though the first 3 are best know for their 70’s and 80’s music, I saw the concerts in the mid 90’s. ---

For your reading enjoyment, I give you: Ogre’s [My all-time most fantastic concert experience was…](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=279443) My own [Which bands/artists have you seen live?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=261458) I haven’t been to any new concerts, either. How sad. I was going to make reference to **Voodoo Lou** ’s list (it’s gigantic and alphabetical!) but I see he’s posted, so nevermind. 🙂 Anyway, I can’t remember a lot bands I’ve seen (Ozzfests), or even the details of specific shows, and that’s sad. All that really sticks out is one of Marilyn Manson’s dancers having a “wardrobe malfuction” at Ozzfest, about 50 chicks (myself included) hopping on stage and dancing during Rob Zombie’s set (again at Ozzfest), getting kicked the head by a crowd surfer during Godsmack’s set (Ozzfest), at which time I collapsed, and being hoisted over the wall into the arms of the Hottest Medic Ever, and having a complete spaz attack when Tool played the first few notes of “Opiate” ( **not** Ozzfest), because I wasn’t expecting them to play it. Good times. ---
