[WildcatFan1982]

Of the older acts that I was old enough to have seen, would have loved to have seen Dire Straits in their prime. .

I still give my mom crap about who all she missed. She was born in 1952. Now I realize that Owensboro didn't get a ton of big shows in the 1960s but by 1970 she was in Lexington and owned a car. She could have in theory seen Led Zeppelin, the Doors, The Who (original), John Lennon, The Stones, etc.

What concerts has she been to in her 67 years? America, The Osmonds, and The Beach Boys after Brian Wilson left.

I completely agree. Based on my list, it is easy to see I enjoy metal music. Bogart's used to get a TON of thrash/death metal bands. Now, it seems, there might be a show about once every 6 months I'd want to see there. I've seen more shows outside of Cincinnati (Dayton, Huntington, Louisville and Lexington) in the last 2 or 3 years.

No Phish??

Got a friend who's seen Yonder maybe 20x. Loves them.

 

[justa]

Yonder is a damn good show, same with Greensky.

I personally am “meh” on Phish. I love their instrumentals, especially when they veer toward the funk side. But Trey’s nonsensical lyrics are hard for me to overcome

 

[blubo]

I saw the stones perform this number in 1965 in dayton ohio. this is from the t.a.m.i.(teenage music international) show in 1964, which featured many of the most popular performers in that era. it’s interesting to look at the kids in this audience as they are what kids actually looked like back then. hard to believe that jagger and the band were many times referred to then as “nasty” “rolling uglies.” nowadays they would be clean cut conservative in appearance.
The t.a.m.i. show was shown on pbs a year or so ago and is well worth watching if you are a fan of music in that era. i actually saw the show at a drive in theater about 1966.

 

[TurnipDaBeet]

Ronald Jones

 

[UpstateNYCat]

The Stones were in Foxboro earlier this year and Buffalo a few years ago, kick myself for not making a better effort to go and see them. Same with Seger. It was either scheduling or timing that prevented me from seeing them, wife's not a fan of big production concerts anymore.

 

[stuway]

No Phish??

Got a friend who's seen Yonder maybe 20x. Loves them.

One I forgot. Ive seen Phish about a dozen times. Like Trey Band better prolly. The older I get the long jams wear on me.

[JDHoss]

Watching for @JDHoss list, which should take a whole page by itself. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Lot of the bands I've seen, not many people have heard of except you, and it's been in small clubs or venues. I've got to where I'd rather do that then pay a small fortune to see a big act in a cavernous arena and need binoculars to see the stage.
