So reading over some of the concert threads on here (including one I started, myself, about 2 months ago), I see a lot of people saying “Oh, I saw Phil Collins on his No Jacket Required Tour!” or “Last concert I went to was the Rolling Stones. It was their Licks Tour” or “Ahh, Bon Jovi. I’ll never forget when I saw them on their Have a Nice Day Tour” or “Anyone else catch a show when U2 were on their Vertigo Tour?” So my question is…what singers or bands did you see when you saw them on a named tour they were on (and what were the names of the tours)? I wonder what the chances are that two different posters will have seen a band on the same tour? ---

I saw Queensryche on the Building Empires tour. I saw Rush on the Roll the Bones tour. For the number of times I’ve seen Weird Al, it’s low hanging fruit to say which tours. ---
