row_33 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) 1) Alfred Brendel series at Roy Thompson Hall in the mid 90s, saw him play 26 of the 32 Beethoven piano sonatas. 2) Both Joe Cocker and Sly Stone vomited and left the stage about 2 minutes into each of their performances around 1974 3) I like to be surprised by what is in town when i have the energy to go out and see a concert 4) The Who or Led Zeppelin, original casts Edited November 20, 2018 by row_33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 1) Best Concert You've Ever Seen Brandi Carlile w/ Margo Price @ Asbury Hall 2016- She sang Amazing Grace acapella with all the hall lights off. The entire crowd joined in and about 300 people sang together in the dark. Perfect night. 2) Worst Concert You've Ever Seen Linkin Park @ Darien Lake. They should have never been the headliner with Korn on the bill. Sounded really bad. 3) Bucket List Concert Right now it's Jason Isbell. 4) Concert you wish you could see, but can't due to death/bandbreakup etc. Nirvana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) 1) Believe it or not, Weird Al Yankovic. Dude puts on one hell of a show, with costume changes, and videos, and crowd interaction. Of course playing everything from rock, rap, pop, country, and even a polka song or two. 2) The Charlie Daniels Band. I love the CDB, but I was pretty disappointed. Half the concert were "solo" songs from the band members with Charlie not even on the stage, and a five minute drum solo. Also, played a lot of newer stuff. EDIT: Scratch that. My fiance's cousin got two free tickets to Panic! At The Disco/Weezer. Panic was unbearable. Not my music, and you couldn't hear anything over the screaming teenage girls. Lead singer made a bunch of pandering political/social comments, and dropped a lot of F-bombs. I'm not offended by the F bombs, but it had they "Hey kids, look how cool I am because I can say this word into a microphone." vibe. Thankfully, most of the little kids left after them, and Weezer put on a really good show. 3) The Rolling Stones 4) If I had to name one, it would probably be Queen obviously with Freddie. Adam Lambert isn't bad. Dude's got some chops for sure, and I'd like to see them someday. But the stage presence that Freddie had, and the way he could just put on a show was amazing.

Seasons1992 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 51 minutes ago, The Real Buffalo Joe said: Four Questions. 1) Best Concert You've Ever Seen Roger Waters in Louisville, 2016. Played all of Animals, most of Dark Side/Wish You Were Here/Echoes. Amazing musicians and stage/arena rigging. They sounded exactly like the albums. 2) Worst Concert You've Ever Seen Fleet Foxes, earlier this year. Not a band that should be in an indoor venue with bad sound; probably should stay in the studio, honestly. And the crowd just sat there and was quiet the entire time. I love FF on albums but it was highly disappointing live. 3) Bucket List Concert My Morning Jacket @ Red Rocks 4) Concert you wish you could see, but can't due to death/bandbreakup etc. Probably The Who, playing all of Quadrophenia straight through.

bills_fan Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 1) Guns N Roses/Metallica/Faith No More Stadium Tour - Rich Stadium July 25, 1992. Faith No More opened and was awesome, then Metallica came out and rocked the whole house for like 2 hours. Axl was at his bitchy best and delayed GnR coming onstage for like 2 hours. The camerman proceeded to focus on every good looking girl and put them up on the jumbotron where 80,000 people chanted "show your t*ts!" About 90% of them did. Then GnR came out and performed a terrific set. Here;s the wiki about that tour with setlists from the Rich Stadium show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_N'_Roses/Metallica_Stadium_Tour 2) Zac Brown Band - Citi Field July 28, 2018. It was 100 degrees, on a summer Saturday and people were hammered from over imbibing all day long, suffering heatstroke and extremely belligerent in the GA area. Unlike the Zac Brown show there in 2016, they had no pit area so it was a general free-for-all. Zac Brown stopped his set 4xs bc of fights breaking out. Not fun at all. 3) Burning Man - Someday it will happen. 4) The Doors, Live in New York - January 17 and 18, 1970 - Felt Forum NYC. Fortunately there is a box set of this, but I wasnt alive at the time and Jim obviously didnt live much longer. But for the guys who were there it was absolutely amazing they say.

The Poojer Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I was going to reply "anything at Red Rocks" but that wouldn't be true, but Red Rocks is definitely a bucket list venue for me 33 minutes ago, Seasons1992 said: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieG Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Best Concert - Large Venue - The Who, Rich Stadium 1982. The sound was great and it was the concert where it started raining during Love Reign O'er Me. -Small Venue - George Thorogood, a small bar in Albany in the '80s. Not for everyone, but the energy was incredible. -Mid Venue - BB King, early 2000's. Seats about 10 rows from the stage. No dancing, no lasers, no smoke, no stage show. It was all about the music. And if you're a fan of the blues....it was perfect. Like he was playing in your living room. *side note, I missed an opportunity to meet him. I had a client at the time who was sound manager at the PAC. Between acts, we were walking around and I saw him on stage. I was going to say hi, but he looked busy. A few weeks later, I mentioned that I saw him setting up. He said, "I wish you would have said something to me, I could have gotten you backstage to meet him afterward". Sigh. He said that for every person brought to meet him, he treated like gold. Worst There's a few, but no need to dwell. Concert Missed Ralph Macchio going toe to toe with Steve Vai in a contest over the Karate Kid's soul. Bucket List It'll happen when I die (which kind of takes it out of the category). Heaven I'm sure will have a hell of a band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coloradobillsfan Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) Best concert is hard - I saw a lot of Gov't Mule shows in clubs back in the mid to late 90's that were musically as good as anything I've ever seen in Arenas or Stadiums. A David Gilmour show at the Paramount in Oakland in 2006 is near the top of the list - with Rick Wright in the band it was basically a mini Pink Floyd show in a 3000 seat venue. I could not stop smiling for hours after the show. Worst concert is easy - Van Halen in Denver in 2012. Diamond Dave forgot most of the lyrics and laughed about it through the whole show when he wasn't berating the venue staff. I'm convinced the sound guy just said fuggit and spun all the dials to max because it was painfully loud and not in a good way Bucket list - I can honestly say I've seen everyone I have wanted to see and had the opportunity to see. I guess I'd like to see Macca just to say I've seen a Beatle. Concert wish - Definitely Pink Floyd, probably with Syd Barrett but I'd definitely settle for Rog Dave Nick and Rick. Poojer: I live 15 mins from Red Rocks, let me know if you ever need a place to crash before or after a RR show CookieG: you reminded me of a BB King show at Impaxx night club in West Seneca in 1994 - what an amazing experience it was to see the King of the Blues in such a small venue Edited November 20, 2018 by coloradobillsfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Best concert: Ray Charles at the Blue Note Cafe Worst concert: too many to pick just one...Styx? Bucket list: gotta be the Beatles, as predictable as that is. Wish I could have seen: the Rolling Stones during the Mick Taylor era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 1) Best Concert You've Ever Seen 1982 - The Kinks with opening act John Cougar (Mellencamp) 2) Worst Concert You've Ever Seen Rod Stewart, but partially because my wife insisted on meeting her friends at a bar beforehand, so we missed the opening act who I really wanted to see; Santana. 3) Bucket List Concert Paul McCartney 4) Concert you wish you could see I’d say The Beatles, but their later years, and the rooftop concert was too short. Elvis Aloha from Hawaii, but I can watch the video. So I guess The Doors with a cognant Jim Morrison. Or the Monterey Pop Festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was May 2017. No Echoes indeed........I'm not sure half the crowd would have enjoyed that. Lots of people just there to hear songs from The Wall (thankfully he didn't play a ton of those; not a huge fan of that album.) And where's MY invite to crash at your place?!?!?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Four Questions. 1) Best Concert You've Ever Seen Pearl Jam - 10/30/2009 in The Spectrum in Philly 2) Worst Concert You've Ever Seen Motley Crue and Kiss - 9/15/2012 Darien Lake (just embarrassing tbh. Gene Simmons said "how ya doin Darien Lake!!!!" and everyone just kind of looked at each other) 3) Bucket List Concert Rage Against the Machine if they do another 1-off.

Watching Vince Neal talk about "girls" to get a cheap pop from the crowd was the zenith in cheesy things I have witnessed.... until Gene Simmons' "blood" coming out of his mouth to the absolute delight of a few fans during a "solo".

They played the new album from beginning to end and it was jaw dropping. 2) Tough one, I can't remember going to see a band I didn't like against my will. Zappa walked off stage after less than an hour because he was sick. Either that or any elementary school orchestra concert. That was always pretty rough on the ears. What's cool is seeing them progress in middle and high school. 3) Can't think of any. 4) Too many to mention but top of the list would have to be Led Zeppelin.

The young folks won't remember what real music is like. We used to have these things called records." So hacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Best concert probably Ozzfest 98. SOAD was on the side stage, I had no idea who they were but they were killing it. Sevendust was there, then Tool opened for Ozzy. People were passing pinners while you waited in line to get in, it was an all day concert. Good times. Worst concert Earth Day Birthday 2008. Even with the girls finally putting pasties on and painting themselves instead of wearing shirts I don't remember enjoying any of the bands. Spent the whole day on a blanket waiting to go home. Bucket list would be a Jimmy buffet concert on the water in the Keys. Everyone floating in boats and drinking and having a good time. In 2000 I could have gone to see U2 and I think it was the Lemon tour, my cousin went to Tampa and saw it, said it was fantastic. Oh and props to the Tans-Siberian orchestra we went 4 years ago in December and had a good time there. Definitely something to do at least once.

Augie Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 1) Best was the Stones at Rich stadium about 1975. Amazing, eye opening experience. (There were menus of “merchandise” available hanging on bedsheets around the stadium!) Great music and atmosphere for a high school kid. 2) Worst was the Stones in Tampa about 25+ years later. What a disappointment... (Honorable mention was The Who in Cincinnati, but only because all those people died, not the band) 3) Bucket list would be Van Morrison 4) This would have to be the Beatles. Just heard today is Joe Walsh’s B-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 1) Best Concert You've Ever Seen Tough one but I'd have to say this one. Gov't Mule Muleoween with Robby Krieger. Was just to the left of whoever shot this 2) Worst Concert You've Ever Seen Bryan Adams, Sammy Hagar, Aerosmith, Journey at some baseball stadium in Miami 1982. The venue sucked. Wife (GF at the time) and I were broke so we just had enough money for a couple of cokes. It was crazy hot and I thought we were going to die from the heat. Aerosmith sucked donkey balls. 3) Bucket List Concert The one where Kris Myers from Umphrey's McGee passes out and they ask "is there a drummer in the house?" and I finish the show on the drums. 4) Concert you wish you could see, but can't due to death/bandbreakup etc. The original Allman Brothers with Duane and Barry.

Went to an outdoor all day concert with Willie Nelson this year. They were giving away water. The venue has an exclusive bar/restaurant that was probably overpriced.

Was gonna make a joke comparing Manilow to a caterwauling chick but caterwauling is probably unfair to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
