Tell me about your Music Favorite's and concerts

[Mary Kay]

I am a child of the 60's and early 70's. My favorites are the Beatles of course, the Stones and most of the 60's noise!
I used to love concerts but now..I hate the wait for the bathroom!

I saw Led Zeppelin at the Tampa Stadium in 1973, followed a month later by Pink Floyd. Then a few months later, the allman brothers.I saw Seals and Crofts (Diamond girl), Meatloaf, the Monkee's, Jay and the Americans,and the original Diamonds (from the 50's) and many more in Tampa.

I was a guard at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo and got to see Kenny Rogers, Roy Rogers/ Dale Evens, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash and the whole Carter family including June. I also got to see the great Marty Robbins.
What are your concert memories?

Mine is getting to meet Tommy Shaw at the Styx concert in 2002. I've always been a huge fan since the 70's and somehow my best friend was able to arrange it as a birthday present. I'll remember it for the rest of my life!

Styx! my son was a fan, he made me listen to them in the car...until I was a fan too! LOL
That sounds amazing, WOH..I bet you were excited!,
My friend who shall remain nameless, Got to met Neil Diamond after a concert, It seems her hubby is a cousin, she got so excited (she was 20 at the time) that she threw up on him!

 

[WomanOfHeart]

It was amazing and unexpected! Tommy Shaw is a very nice and funny guy! I couldn't believe that my friend was able to set it up for me. The only other concert that came close to that was the "Family Values" and "Projekt Revolution" concerts in 2007. That was one hell of a great time!

I have only been to a few. Jimmy Buffet....so much fun because it was outdoors. Went to Kenny Rogers concert when I was about 10 with my sister.

Concerts in the early 70's were the big thing !! I went to a ton of them !! Geez ...Grand Funk, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Rare Earth, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, ZZ top, 3 Dog Night...I can't even remember half of them...(oops !).....probably part of the reason I have such messed up hearing !!!

 

[Mary Kay]

Maybe this wasn't the best idea..lol We are aging ourselves! Yeah I saw Tull too!

 

[Lisa66]

Classwife......I saw a couple you did...... Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull; my brother took me to those. Utopia/Todd Rundgren, saw them at least 8 times back then (fancied myself a groupie then but not really!), saw T.R. twice in the past two years. Yes, Doobie Brothers, ELO, Rolling Stones a few times, The Ramones, The Cars, The Sex Pistols, The Pretenders (older concerts and a year or so ago, they still rock), Red Hot Chili Peppers---so many I can't remember. I saw Heart about a year ago and they were just like twenty years ago! My favorite more recent concert was Rodrigo y Gabriela, at a small venue in Chicago. I love those old, small theaters!

I missed all this stuff. My mother would not allow me to go to concerts, I asked one time to go see a famous ballet dancer and she wouldn't even allow that. One time a friend had tickets for Bruce Sprinsteen, since I knew the answer would be no I told her I needed to do work at the library and went. It was so cool, I still remember that night. He is such a great story teller. I even named my new guitar Boss. The only problem that night was I had to leave early so I wouldn't get caught.

After I left the house I did go to a Dead Head concert, but that was more like time travel than seeing a concert, it was just very strange. I felt like I was the only sober person left in the 60's. ( this was in the late 80's very early 90's, but everyone there was still living in the 60's)

 

[achtungbaby]

Lisa ~ Ramones, the Pistols!! UGh. Jealous! I'm an 80's brat..Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Ratt, Aerosmith, Scorpians, The Cult, Billy Idol, Kiss (1st one w/out make-up - lol!)..can't remember them all. My favorite was U2 last year...and a long time ago I was very lucky to see Harry Belafonte at a small orchestra type place in Baltimore. It was a dreamy date night thing..ahh memories!

*there was also that punk phase squeezed into tiny clubs with bands like TSOL, DK, Misfits..COC~this one landed me a broken nose! Shoulda listened to mama...

The Who in 1971 rocked my world!...I was 11 years old and then seen them again in the '90s ....then George Benson, Al Dimeola, Journey 3 times, Lynyrd Skynyrd twice, The Outlaws twice, The Marshall Tucker Band, Molly Hatchett, Van Halen, Montrose, ZZ Top three times, 38 Special, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jewel, The Allman Brothers Band and Eric Clapton again last month...I am sure there are more but my memory isn't what it once was...: ),

Concerts: Luscious Jackson, The Black Crowes, Great White, Warped Tour 2010 (Dropkick Murphy's, Reel Big Fish, Hey Monday, Everclear, The Casualties), Smashing Pumpkins, and probably a couple others that I, ummm, *can't remember*

Music: Anything that gets my booty movin' or speaks to my soul

 

[LadyWeeps]

I'm a child of the 70's (HS grad '75) Every friday night I'd watch Wolfman Jack hosting Friday Night Special? Saw alot of acts on that show but my all time favorite was Three Dog Night. About 10 years ago we had an auto mall open just a few blocks from out house and lo and behold, the Three Dog Night gave a mini concert!! They were sooooo good and it was free lol

 

[Mary Kay]

My kids were raised on 50's (hubby's California beach music) and my 60's music. My daughter as a teen got to go to see the Beach Boys..so excited! She came home and said they were great but they were "OLD"!

 

[Fudgey]

I like most all kinds of music oldies, 80's rock, country. But absolutely NO rap or elevator music!!!

Ah Fudgey you haven't been in an elevator lately have you. Our 80's music is now elevator music. It's scarry when you start to like the music they are playing in the elevators and recognize the songs.

 

[Mary Kay]

I knew I was old when the Beatles became elevator music!
