Saw Futhur at the Mann in Philly....was pissed because the city shut down shakedown, kind of ruined the vibe

 

Saw Further NYE at the Bill Graham 2009. Something about see even a Dead “cover band” in SF NYE.  Four sets over five hours. 

 

Edit:  Sorry three sets. 

 

12/31/2009 Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, San Francisco, CA
 
I: Shakedown Street, Jack Straw, Mama Tried, Candyman, Loose Lucy, Viola Lee Blues, Truckin
II: Help on the Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower, Cassidy, The Wheel > Jam > Dark Star > Time > Breathe Reprise > Uncle John's Band, After Midnight
III: Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion > Let It Grow > Cryptical Envelopment > Born Cross-Eyed > The Other One > Cryptical Envelopment > So Many Roads, St. Stephen > The Eleven > Not Fade Away
E: Sugar Magnolia
Baby New Year flew in from the back of the venue on a skull to "All We Need Is Love" at the start of the third set

I have been kicking myself for not going to the Outlaw Road Show this year with Willie Nelson and Van Morrison.  I was just kind of festivaled out.....completely went against one of my mantras, "don't miss out on things you want to do, there's always time to catch up on rest and make more money"

I can’t believe there’s not more love for Van Morrison.

Four Questions.

 

1) Best Concert You've Ever Seen

 

2) Worst Concert You've Ever Seen

 

3) Bucket List Concert

 

4) Concert you wish you could see, but can't due to death/bandbreakup etc.

 

1) Best:  The Cure at Roskilde Festival, in Denmark 1990.  Songs were great.  Best band lineup of their career.

 

2) Worst: Grateful Dead, Rich Stadium 1985ish.  Sound was horrible, ate some questionable shrooms.

 

3) Bucket List: Not sure really.  Maybe the remaining members of Led Zeppelin.

 

4) Original Led Zeppelin.

Do not diss Barry Manilow. ? He's fabulous!

I will grudgingly admit that I possessed a Barry Manilow album long long ago (thank you Columbia House record club and 12 records for a penny). Great voice.

He came out of the closet like two years ago, and I was surprised he ever considered himself in the closet. My mother in law was a huge fan. Not my cup of tea, but I respect his talent. He wrote a whole bunch of jingles we still use. Stuck on Band Aid brand, and Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is There.

I saw that when it came to Houston. Unfortunately, Van Morrison wasn't on that leg. Willie is my hero, but he just can't sing anymore.

Yeah, that was the least surprising coming-out ever.

Rob Halford could string together a few sentences intelligently so he was on the suspicion list for years

 

 

but nobody died except Lord Mercury, so who knows what they were really doing in spite of public boasting

The Musical Box is pretty darn close, see it if you have a chance in your neck of the woods

 

Got my ticket for a January performance.

my drummer wishlist would have been to be for the recordings of:

 

the totally overdubbed Moon opening to Live at Leeds "Heaven and Hell" (Live at Hull is the honest recording live...)

 

Bonham's fill at 1:17 of Achille's Last Stand

 

Floyd Sneed's ghost beats in 3DN's Family of Man, actually anything with Floyd again...  (hi-hat and snare with the left stick helps...)

Thanks for the endorsement.  I'm also a Genesis afficianado and never got to see them with Gabriel or Hackett.  Musical box plays Philly yearly and was never really inspired to see them.  This sways my thinking

1) The Clash - Toronto CNE Grandstand September 1982

2) None that sticks out. If I don't like the band I don't go. Lots of lousy openers though. The Divinyls opening for The Clash at SUNY Binghamton were godawful.

3) Been blessed to see so many of my favs over the years. I've been waiting for Joel Plaskett Emergency to come down to the states for a show but he sticks primarily to Canada.

4) Saw Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson solo but never got to see The Band back in the day. Would have enjoyed that I'm sure.

1. Sex Pistols at the Trump Borgata in AC 2003, 2nd place Pistols at the 9:30 Club in DC same tour.

 

2. Journey opening for the Stones at Rich Stadium 1981. If you need a headliner, then Yes in the round at Purdue 1979 (don't kill the whale :doh:)

 

3. No one right now that I can think of, I think I've seen everyone I wanted to see that's still going. Maybe Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, not a big fan of the music but the shows look incredible from vids.

 

4. Led Zeppelin, had tickets 2x for shows that never happened (Plant's kid and Bonzo)

Many of you were too young, but some might have caught my elementary school concert at Kleinhans Music Hall. We recorded Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Scarborough Fair. There is an album somewhere, maybe in Cleveland (R&R HOF, of course).  If you were there, you’d remember! Absolutely rousing renditions!

Pledge of Allegiance - System of a Down and Slipknot 

 

2) Worst Concert You've Ever Seen

Woodstock 99. Not because of the acts,  but the setting (100 gegrees) on an abandoned airforce base with no shade. Nearly freaked out after doing acid for the first time in the blazing heat.  To top it off out of how many thousands of people that were there I somehow ran into my high school drivers ed teacher as the acid was kicking in.

3) Bucket List Concert

David Gilmore 

4) Concert you wish you could see, but can't due to death/bandbreakup etc.

Original Zeppelin,  Doors, Floyd

1.  For the pure excitement only youth can bring I'd say Genesis post Gabriel.  I also saw Gabriel post Genesis.  Both in Saratoga.  Add Queen.  All three were great shows.  For music quality and enjoyment more appreciated by old fogies, I'll go with Mark Knopfler who I have seen twice and will see again next Summer.  He has an incredible band and an amazingly diverse library.

 

2. My worst was also my first.  The Cars.  I remember asking some older friends if all concerts were like that.  Thank God they aren't.  I still like their songs though.

 

3.  I'm not sure there is one because most would fall into category 4.

 

4. I think I'll go with a Traffic for this one.  Zep is obvious but has also been mentioned a bunch.  Add Pink Floyd on The Wall tour.
