    Yeah, I know it was that cheap then. I saw some tickets from the Woodstock days, only a few dollars.

    But W:eek:W I can't believe you've seen so many people live, that had to be awesome, especially because some of those rank among my favorites. I always think that the bands of the 60's and 70's will forever be considered classics.

    :peace:

    I saw Aerosmith 2 1/2 years ago.
    although it wasnt IN the 70's they
    were still a band from the 70's
    and i've seen Motley Crue twice. but that's an 80's band

    well, you got to see 2 or 3 bands per concert (even more if it was a festival) so while the list seems long it really doesn't represent all that many concerts. like i saw Steely Dan at Pirate's World (oh man! whatta dump! the venue roof had huge pieces missing) when they were a front band for Led Zepplin. and Blue Oyster Cult played the same concert as King Crimson and Deep Purple. i saw Doobie Brothers multiple times because they were always playing with someone like Loggins and Messina or Credence. for all the bands i saw and enjoyed i regret that Janice and Jimmy had left planet before i was old enough to see and appreciate them. **sigh**

    yeah, i had Jefferson Starship on my list but i saw them in the 90s so took them off my list. besides, Grace wasn't with them anymore and tho the woman singer was good she just wasnt Slick. their music was okay but the concert was held on the Navy base in Key West. the presense of all those uniforms with leashed sniffer dogs kinda ruined the ambience.

    what as Credence like. hmmmm reaching back into a jumble of images, stoner memories kinda tossed into the junk draw labeled "concerts". well, everyone knew the words to all the songs so the concert was like a sing along. i guess that's what i remember about it. it had a comfortable vibe. there was a homey engagement factor that you perhaps wouldn't feel quite as much at an Alice Cooper or a Yes concert.

    The first concert I ever attended was the Beatles at the old D.C. armory in Washington DC in early 64.

    The last concert I attended was The Who about four years ago...Sorry to many to list in between.

    But I can tell you the loudest concert I ever attended was Creedence Clearwater at the Jackson Civic Auditorium in the early spring of 1971.

    The most influential concert I ever attended was Santana in Offenbach Germany during the early summer of 1969.

    Sadly, I am at the mercy of my "go by the book" family. And what's sad...I always have been. I'm not allowed to go to concerts because my parents don't think they're safe. So...since I am a black sheep (and damn proud of it), I wish with all my heart that I could go to at least ONE summer festival with good music and good dope, just feeling the breeze lift my flower skirt and my hair. Mmm. I would die a happy hippie.

    At the moment, I wish I could see Alice Cooper, Queen, Sweetwater (the band that disappeared from the original Woodstock because Nancy Nevins lost her voice in a near-fatal car accident)...as well as The Guess Who and anyone who makes me think.

    Plus a few tribute bands, I've seen some pretty good bands for being 16. I also was supposed to see Chuck Berry (one of my guitar idols) but he cancelled.

    I saw CSNY on the freedom of speech tour.IT WAS INCREDIBLE SINGING "LET'S IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT" WITH THE WHOLE CROWD! I saw Earth, Wind, And Fire afew years ago(great show).I saw Meat Lauf with Cheap Trick for my birthday one year.That was pretty fun(i was into Meat at the time).The thing i remember most about that show was when me and my cousin Jose saw group of hot chicks in tight dresses and Jose said "they look pretty expensive to me".LOL! Also i remember seeing a great Beatles tribute band called Beatlemania at a festival here in Florida when i was a kid.They played ALMOST THE WHOLE CATALOG !

    Here is boot of CSNY from the tour i saw.Enjoy.

    First let me say my favorite concert was CSN, saw them right after Crosby got done being a guest of the state of Florida. I had a second row seat right in front of Stephen Stills. The Fabulous Thunderbirds opened for them and Stills spent most of their show dancing on the side of the stage with a young girl I assume to be his daughter.

    REO Speedwagon
    Thin Lizzy
    Bob Seger
    Aerosmith
    The Kinks
    The Who
    The Tubes
    Blue Oyster Cult
    Todd Rungren (at a church no less)
    Alice Cooper
    Heart
    Edgar Winter
    U2 (in a small 500 seat theater before their first album)
    Red Ryder
    Springsteen and The East Street Band
    Eric Clapton
    Van Halen ( again before their first album, remember thinking who the hell are they)
    Eddie Money
    Yes
    Rainbow
    Asia
    38 Special
    Genesis
    Frank Zappa
    Iron Maiden ( more times then I care to admit, seems they opened for everyone who came to town )
    There are more but they've slipped my foggy mind
